After being appointed by the Supreme Court, the Central Empowered Committee along with the District Magistrate and police chief had inspected the area. The report submitted to the court stated that "The road near the crushers located in village Udhanwas was found deliberately blocked with huge boulders and stones. This is, however, for the first time that the CEC was prevented from carrying out the site visit, something most unfortunate."
