Sand mining industry captured in photos
At places like Thane Creek outside of Mumbai, hundreds of locals and migrant workers toil in harsh conditions for about $16 a day. They dive to depths of 40 feet to dredge sand with metal buckets, which are pulled to the surface by other crew members. One diver noted that the illegal dredging is so rampant that the channel soon will be too deep for them to reach the bottom.
