What the hell does this mean? Who is this "National Green Tribunal"?

so, now I am sure the sand dealers/mafia are going to use this news to fleece us, the hapless customers.

anyone used Robo plast for plastering and tile laying?

If so, how does it behave, and what is the cost? I need sand to complete plastering and tiling work in my site.

I think the ban affects only illegal , unlicensed quarrying. After obtaining necessary permits from MoEF, sand can be mined and sold.

So sand availability will not stop but quantity may drop. However, the black marketeers will have a field day claiming "no-sand"

PS: Is n't that wierd? "Banning what is illegal and unlicensed"
