    Well, you can hear loud blasting noise here, even from a distance of 1/2 a kilometer.

    And news for all. Quarrying stone is as bad an anti environment act as throwing plastic or depleting green cover. The stones that has helped construction boom in Bangalore for a few years have taken millions of years to get formed and is a significant component of the earth's crust. Depleting that crust is as or more dangerous than emitting greenhouse gasses and cutting down forests.
