Udupi, Sep 16: "A few days back the district administration began auctioning the seized sand in the city, but we are pressurizing the administration that it should be available for Udupi alone. About 1,000 loads of sand are seized by the concerned department, which is stored in Shiroor and Hiriadka yard," said the BJP district president Kuilady Suresh Nayak.
He addressed a press meet here, on Wednesday, September 16. "It should not be transported to another district. If that happens, we will not tolerate it. People of Udupi have been waiting for sand for several years and the demand is also very high here."

Hence, in our first visit, we want to achieve better results than in the earlier years," he said.
