Stone Collecting in Tamabil

Stone

Situated amidst a splendid panorama, Tamabil is a border outpost on the Sylhet-Shilong Road, about 55 km away from Sylhet town. Besides the enchanting views of the area one can also have a glimpse of the waterfalls across the border from Tamabil. Nearby Jaflong is a scenic spot amidst tea gardens, where one can see stones that have rolled down the hills.
The stones are used for road and building construction, household uses and as souvenir. Stone crushing industries have also come up recently. The activities create air pollution, river shifting and bank erosion and land slides in the hill slopes.
