RIP Ramesh Kumar.

Govt Should take strong measure to counter monopoly in Sand mining, young officers loose life due to such polices done in favour.
It is estimated that Bangalore needs 9000 Sand Lorries where majority is sourced from TN

This doesnt seem to be going anywhere, and all this when i had just started construction
I know nothing can replace river sand, but what are the closely-matched alternatives apart from RMC ?
