T.N. government bans transport of rough stones, aggregates to other States for three months
The Director of Geology and Mining will regulate the transport of rough stone, which includes khandas, boulders, materials such as M-sand, metal jelly, ballasts, mill stones, hand chakais, and building and road construction stones to the other States. This has been done to make sure there is sufficient supply in Tamil Nadu.According to the G.O., Tamil Nadu has been consistently witnessing infrastructure development and urbanisation, which requires a steady supply of building and construction materials. Since large-scale movement of rough stone and aggregates to neighbouring States occurs, it has caused constraints in the availability of construction materials in the State.
