Cement mixers and other construction equipment, in use in Rajasthan. Afcons is the company that seems to have supplied the equipment and trucks, perhaps for a government contract. Large mountains of sand, mined from nearby river beds and water channels, along with other ingredients for cement making.



A cement mixing or construction site, with huge mountains of sand and other materials, mixers, a Larsen & Toubro marked silo and various trucks and construction equipment, in India.



India is particularly challenged as far as sand poaching is concerned, as there is such a huge demand for sand, 'bajri', top soil and other requirements for road and building construction, landscaping and gardens. As a result, sand is stolen from river-banks, river-beds, along the sea and anywhere else it is available. There are clear-cut laws but few follow them!
