Government Approves Red Sandstone Quarry Demands in Dakshina Kannada

Government Approves Red Sandstone Quarry Demands in Dakshina Kannada

The government has agreed to make it easier for people to dig up and sell red sandstone.

This means it's cheaper and simpler to get the permits needed.

They lowered the tax on each load of stone and made licenses last longer.

They also removed a rule that slowed down the process.

This helps local businesses, like those in Puttur, make a living by providing construction material while also making sure they follow safety rules.

This should help the local economy grow and make sure there is less illegal mining.
