( 5.1 MINING:

The sand is available in entire mining lease area. However, it is proposed to work on South Eastern side of the lease area by excavating three benches. The bench height and width will be maintained around 1.5m & 1.5m respectively. In this scheme period it is proposed to rise about 5,36,564T of sand by advancing the south face of the working pits towards west as shown in plate no. 4.

5.2 YEAR WISE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ENSUING FIVE YEARS PERIOD (2015-16 to 2019-20):

During the last scheme period there was no development work involved. For next five years also there will not be any overburden removal in the mining lease area.
