It had been reported that two government officials had already tried to secretly dig gold allegedly buried in the Puthukkuidiyiruppu area before a court order was issued. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is looking into the incident.
The excavation was postponed for two days due to heavy rain and was halted due to flood water accumulating the pit and heavy machinery being stuck.
