Gehlot govt. brings M-sand policy for construction works

The Hindu  

The Rajasthan government on Monday brought the much-awaited policy on manufactured sand, giving industry status to the units producing it for construction work and reducing the dependence on bajri. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot launched the new policy at his official residence here, while affirming that it would prove to be a “game changer” for the construction industry. The policy would help create employment opportunities through new units and resolve the issue of huge quantities of waste generated in the mining areas, he said. Mines Minister Pramod Bhaya said the demand for sand in the construction sector had touched 70 million tonnes, which would be met by the new policy.
