Each cannoe robs three trucks early morning from 5.00 am to 10.00 am. Six such cannoes are operating from the same spot. Mines and Geology department, Goa Police, Captain of Ports, Transport Department, Tiswadi Mamlatdar as well as North Goa Collector is duty bound to crackdown on this illegal sand mining. 


It is however evident that sand miners cares a dam for any of these authorities and even invested in brand new cannoes.


Illegal Sand mining also takes place from Vanxim island and sand is being transported in four wheelers in Amboi-Vanxim Ferry.
