Chhattisgarh News: With the arrival of the monsoon season, sand mining from rivers and streams has been stopped. This ban on sand mining will continue until 15 October. During this period, preventing illegal sand mining and transportation from rivers and streams will be a major challenge for the administration.
In Korba district, sand is used on a large scale every year in government and private projects. Whether it is the construction of small or large buildings or the laying of concrete roads, sand is used everywhere nowadays. Its supply comes from rivers and streams. To meet the demand for sand in Korba city, sand is mainly mined from the Hasdeo River. For this, two sand ghats are operated at Charpara and Bhilai Khurd on the banks of the Hasdeo River.
