The development of Bangladesh has been hazarded for a long time from lack of construction materials. One of them is hard rock. The rocks have various uses. They are needed for breaking down into pebbles for use in road building and paving. They same are needed for laying in railway tracks between the sleepers. Hard rocks are specially needed to build and maintain strong embankments in a flood prone country like Bangladesh. But it was thought that the soft alluvial nature of Bangladesh meant that the possibility of finding hard rock in it was slim or none at all and that the country had no other option but to drain its precious resources year after year on importing the same paying higher and higher prices.
