At Sylhet Sadar, Companigonj, Jaintapur, Goainghat and KanaighatUpazilla, a number of stone crushing units have been set up on public roads, forests and near playgrounds, residential areas, schools, hospital and other institutions without authorisation and licenses. These activities caused unbearable noise, dust and water pollution, and the Upazills were losing its natural beauty.
The High Court issued a Rule Nisi to show cause as to why the illegal, unregulated and unauthorised setting-up and operation of stone crushing units should not be declared to have been set up and operated without lawful authority, why the respondents should not be directed to declare Stone Crushing Zone, and to arrange for relocation all authorised stone crushing units to specified zone.
