Various sand owners' associations have made representations to the State government to allow quarries to function for better availability of materials like M-sand for construction activity and government projects. Members of the Tamil Nadu Sand Lorry Owners Association noted that the construction activity has been severely hit due to shortage in materials, such as M-sand and blue metal. R.Muniratnam, the association’s president said construction activities have come to a standstill as quarries in many districts such as Villupuram, Kancheepuram, Tiruvannamalai were not being operated. This has also rendered several migrant workers jobless.
