Existing sand policy to be amended, says Minister Murugesh Nirani
The State government has proposed to scrap the necessity of obtaining permits within the district for transportation and use of sand for construction of individual houses.
Minister for Mines and Geology Murugesh Nirani told presspersons that the existing sand policy would be amended for eliminating procedures such as obtaining permits from PWD and gram panchayat authorities for transportation and use of sand within the district for construction of individual houses or houses to be constructed under the government schemes and not for commercial purposes. The proposed changes would benefit families constructing houses for their personal use, he said.
