The Multi-Agency Task Force is moving to crush the operations of all illegal quarry operators.

Head of the unit, Supt Leon Haynes, said in an interview that illegal operators are being identified and targeted for prosecution.

Haynes said there are only nine companies in TT which currently hold full licences to mine or process aggregate, while another 13 operate under temporary “holdover” permits granted directly by the line minister.
