Tirupur: More than two thousand workers in and around Uthukuli in Tirupur district are engaged in the production of stone from the quarries thereby producing grind stones and pestles.
For the past five years, the Supreme Court has ruled that polluting quarries should be closed. But in the quarries of Uthukuli and its environs, grinding stones have been produced since the stones were cut by pouring water on the rocks to prevent pollution.
