Srirangapatna: Memories of a deadly dynamite blast, claiming at least six lives of those trying to dispose of gelatin sticks fearing Police search at a quarry site in Herenagaveli village of Chikkaballapura taluk in February this year, returned to haunt on Thursday at Bebi Betta in Pandavapura when a huge cache of live gelatin sticks were found carelessly disposed off.
Over 40 gelatin sticks (gelignite, also known as blasting gelatin), detonators and wires were found on Thursday near a quarry on Bebi Betta that was in the news three days back after Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambarish visited certain quarries to inspect any illegal mining activity in the area. She has claimed that illegal stone mining is causing damage to the structure of Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam.
