Rs 50k road projects held up due to soil mining curbs

Media reports say that a court-ordered clampdown on mining sand, soil and gravel is beginning to hurt the construction business and infrastructure projects such as roads and highways. According to industry estimates, at least 70 highway projects estimated to be worth over Rs 50,000 crore are stuck due to delays in Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) clearances that have been made mandatory to mine common soil, resulting in developers not being able to start basic foundation work.
