Unfortunately, that's not the case. Many minerals, especially minor minerals like (basalt) rock and sand are exploited in an unregulated way since past decade' ヘ This leads to rapid exhaustion of essential raw mineral wealth and destruction of environment. Finally' .-2ol3' Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development ^ and Regulation) Rules 2013 came into existence. In accordance of the chapter tv (rule no. 5g) of Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development & Regulation) Rules 2013, which defines Grant of Quarry Permits for Minor Minerals; a committee has been formed in palghar district under the chairmanship of District collector, Palghar to prepare District Mining plan to ensure that the short term Quarry Permits are granted in accordance with the District Mining plan, vide order No : Reti gatlgaukh/t_2/Ikwi_ 5 g 4 / I 7 dt3 I .Og .20 I 7 .

ABOUT PALGHAR DISTRICT The Palghar district came into existence on l'r August 2014 after carving out g rehsils from earlier undivided District ofrhane. It is the 36fi district of the state of Maharashtra in Konkan Division. Palghar district is the most North-westem district of the state of Maharashtra on the Arabian Sea coast. It is spread between the west coast of the Arabian Sea and the sahyadri Mountains rows that are east of the Northem District parghar. of The district is bounded by Thane and Nashik Districts on the east and northeast, and by Varsad District ofGujarat stare and Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli on the north. The Arabian Sea forms the westem boundary, while Vasai_Virar is the only Metropolitan Region. The totar area and population as per 20t l census of the district is 5344 sq. km. & 29,90,116 respectively lt lies in between rg0 17' 15- to 200 13, 45" Latitudes and 7203g,35,, 1o 73030, 25" Longitudes. District comprises of g revenue hlukas i.e. Jawhar, Mokhada, Talasari, Palghar' Vasai' vikamgad, Dahanu and wada having it's headquarter palghar. at There are 5 administrative subdivisions in the district. Totar 477 Grampanchayat, l00g villages and 3glg Habitations in the district, out of that most of the area dominated by Triba.s.. District comes under the Tribal Areas of rhe state of Maharashtra. The main profession of the peopre is Agriculture; support with that peopre co ects wood, Honey, Medicar Herbs & lakhs from Jungle : ln Coastal areas Fishing is main profession, with that horticurture farm of chiku Betel leaf, Mango and Coconut plant also there.

PHYSIOGRAPHY ^ Physiographica,y, the （ district exhibits highly rugged and mountainous topography manifested by the north-south hending Sahyadri mountain （ ranges with steep scarp on the westem side and gently undulating terrain known as Konkan prain （ bordering the Arabian Sea. The highest elevation is 662 m seen ar about rg km NE of vasai wh,e lowest elevation is （ l0mtrs at about 12 Km at SE ofDahanu. （ The district is the northemmost part of rhe Konkan lowrands of Maharashtra. It comprises the （ wide amp'theatre ヽ rike Ulhas basin on the south and hilry vaitarna valley on the north ＾ together plateaus with and the sropes of Sahyadri. From the steep sropes of the Sahyadri in the east, the land falls through a succession ofplateaus in the north and centre of the district to the ^ Ulhas valley in the south. The distance from the parts of different palaces to headquarters parghar ^ by road is as follows: Krodala l3g km, Mokhad a rr2 krn,Jawhar 75 km. Vikamgad 60 ^ km. The ^ main river flowing through the district is the Vaitama. The river has many tributaries; two important of them (within the boundaries of this ^ district) are Barvi and Bhatsa. Vaitama, the largest of Konkan Rivers rises in the Trimbak hilrs ^ in Nashik district, opposite to the source ofGodavari' The River fl6v5 across Shahapur, parghar vada and talukas and enter the ^ Arabian Sea through a wide estuary off Amara. vaitarna fuver is 154 km long and has a drainage area that practically covers the endre northem part Ａ of the district. It has a number of tributaries; the most important of them are piqial, Surya, Daherja and Tansa. Urhas River （ which flows to Arabian see is vasai creek, district,s southem border. Amala Isrand is rocated へ in Vasai taluka, at the entrance to the Vaitarna estuary （ Morphologically the district has been classified in to three groups. （ y & Foot hill region- part of Jawhar, ハ Ittothrda, Waaa dissected&slopingzrea-- Talasari & Central p est pa■ ヽ ,vasa,Dahanu,Palghar ^ ^ ^ TlPae€ ⌒ 4. GEOLOGY A major part ofdistrict is covered with basart i.e. lava flows generally called as Deccan Trap. This volcanic activity was confined mainly to Lower Eocene to Upper Cretaceous age. Between two eruptions there was a time gap and during this period upper surface of flow subject to denudation and weathering. This time gap is marked by formarion ofRed bole and Ash beds The upper surface of lava flows has generally vesicular struch,es caused by the escape of the gases and steams from molten lava. During the sudden cooring at the surface, joints and other openings developed. The upper surface of each flow therefore has a rough texture Based on the megascopic sm:ctures and physicar properties, basalts of the district can be classified into l) compact, Massive Basart. 2) vesicular Zeolitic Basart 3) porphyritic Basalt 4) Fractured and Jointed Basalt. The thickness of compact & Massive flows vary between 15 m to 20 m thickness of Fractured and Jointed flows vary between g 5 to meter. The thickness of vesicular zeoritic flows vary between 3 to 6 m and porphyritic flows having thickness vary between l0 to 20 m.
