INSIDE THE ECOLOGICALLY DAMAGING PRACTICE OF ILLEGAL SAND MINING

INSIDE THE ECOLOGICALLY DAMAGING PRACTICE OF ILLEGAL SAND MINING ⛏
•
As real estate building increases across the world, so too does the illegal extract of sand, which results in serious environmental impacts.
•
Every day, miners remove 5,500 to 6,000 truckloads of sand (about 20 tons each) from the scenic beachfronts and 17 river basins of Tamil Nadu in India, according to the state government.
India is hungry for sand. Fueled by a real estate boom estimated to generate $180 billion annually by 2020, India is digging 500 million metric tons of sand every year, feeding an industry worth more than $50 billion. And India's hunger is bound to increase, as the government plans to build about 60 million new affordable homes between 2018 and 2024.
