What happened
Over 500 sand lorry owners and drivers staged a protest in Tiruchirappalli demanding the immediate reopening of government-operated sand quarries across Tamil Nadu. The demonstration was organized by the Tamil Nadu Sand Lorry Owners Association, which stated that the quarries have been non-operational since Enforcement Directorate raids and related cases in 2023. The protest occurred in front of the Public Works Department office.

Why it matters
The continued suspension of quarry operations has prevented the supply of sand through regular channels. This situation affects the livelihoods of thousands of lorry owners, drivers, and bullock-cart workers in Tamil Nadu. The protests are part of a larger movement against proposed granite quarry operations in the state.
Protests were held against proposed granite quarry operations involving the Communist Party of India.
