Bihar Government Announces Resumption of Sand Mining from Tomorrow

The state administration issued a statement indicating that sand extraction from rivers and other sources in Bihar will be permitted to resume as of tomorrow. The announcement comes after a period during which sand mining was halted, though officials did not detail the length of the pause or the specific reasons for it. Authorities said the resumption is intended to meet the rising demand for sand in construction projects across the state while ensuring compliance with existing environmental regulations. Local officials have been directed to monitor the operations closely and enforce rules to curb illegal extraction. Construction industry stakeholders have welcomed the decision, expecting a steadier supply of sand for ongoing infrastructure work.
