Indiscriminate and illegal sand mining has created negative impacts on land use, deforestation and fauna diversity. Mining activities and piling of mined sand near the river bank is affecting the natural topography of the River bed. In this study, the difference expected to occur in livelihood and community standards of the study area. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
