Govt to give 5 brass sand free for Gharkul: Maha minister

Nagpur, Mar 15 (UNI) Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrasekhar Bawankule said on Saturday that the state government's decision to give five brass sand free-of-cost under the Gharkul Yojana will benefit lakhs of people who are building houses.
Talking to reporters here, he said that the state government will present a comprehensive sand policy in the cabinet meeting this week after taking into consideration many suggestions received from the public.
The decision to start the ghats at places where the auction of sand ghats has not been held in the state will be taken after approval of the new sand policy, he said.
Bawankule said the state government will soon introduce the M-Sand scheme, under which the sand will be prepared by grinding stones through stone crushers in every district of the state.
With availability of alternative sand, the demand for traditional river sand will reduce, he added.
