Which of the following minerals is found at Maddyapara in Dinajpur district?
- A) Coal
- B) White clay
- C) Lime stone
- D) Hard rock
Show answer
Answer: D) Hard rock
Explanation
Hard rock is right. Maddhapara in Parbatipur, Dinajpur, has the country's only underground hard rock (granite) mine, run by Maddhapara Granite Mining Company under Petrobangla. The rock is crushed for roads, rail beds and construction. Coal comes from nearby Barapukuria in the same district, not from Maddhapara.
