Bommai on Friday said that the
police have detained the quarry owner and a mining explosives supplier over the mining quarry blast that took place on the outskirts of the Shivamogga district a day earlier.
“Our prima facie investigations reveal that there seems to be some negligence by the quarry owner and the operators. Police have already detained the quarry owner and the dynamite supplier for questioning.
Probe is on,” Bommai told reporters. According to the police, the quarry unit spans over 21acres and is owned by ST Kulkarni.
