Marble City turns into ‘Nakli Kashmir,’ but slurry keeps harming environment
Rajsamand, known for its high-quality marble production, is facing an environmental issue due to marble waste. The slurry generated during the marble cutting and polishing process is causing air and water pollution. Efforts to find a sustainable solution for the disposal of slurry have not been successful. Currently, there are two major dumping yards in the district, one of which has become a popular spot for pre-wedding photo shoots. The Rajsamand District Marble Cutter Association has been unsuccessful in finding industrial reuse for the slurry, although there is some interest from the ceramic industry.
