This early morning scene in the streets of Vellore tells a lot about the mining of sand from Palar river! One is not certain whether it is authorised or not!
While talking to a cart owner who transports sand from the river bed to a sale point mentioned to me that the river bed hardly has any sand left because of the rampant mining over the last twenty five years!
Our natural resources would get exhausted. The M-sand that is now available made from crushing granite stones is most popular in construction industry!
Nature's bowl of resources has limitations! There is a need to create a consciousness among children and young people that they become nature enthusiasts to preserve the resources of nature!
