Environmentalists Urge Halt to Quarrying at Kharghar Hills

Environmentalists Urge Halt to Quarrying at Kharghar Hills

Imagine there's a mountain near a hospital and homes where people are digging up rocks.

People are worried because the digging, called quarrying, creates a lot of dust that could be bad for people's health, especially cancer patients at the nearby hospital.

The dust also makes it hard to see and can be a nuisance.

Environmental groups and residents are asking the government to stop the digging because they fear it could cause landslides and harm the environment.

The government is looking into the issue to decide what to do.
