Each morning thousands of workers of all ages walk down the dusty river bank, basket and spade in hand. They dig, pull out the stones, and carry them on their heads to the hundreds of noisy stone-crushing machines. This is one trade, which has a geological limit. The stones that tumble down the riverbed from India are decreasing in volume, and the labourers are already taking the risk of invading the no-man’s land along the Indo-Bangla border. More than 10000 men, women and children are engaged as stone labourers here.
