Sand Extraction From Rivers
Unplanned sand extraction and whimsical river excavation have been posing serious threat to biodiversity and causing river erosion in different parts of the country.
Some local musclemen often control Balu Mahal (sand extraction zone) illegally. So, the respective authorities should take required measures to conduct a survey for Balu Mahal and fix the quantity of sand that can be extracted.
Proper initiative, coordinated effort and a unified system are highly expected from the authorities concerned with an aim of ending-up indiscriminate sand extraction and saving the country’s rivers from erosion.
