Prices of quarried sand in Chennai surges
Posted on: 20/Feb/2016 2:18:51 PM
The prices of quarried sand in Chennai have witnessed a surge. With the ban on quarrying in Kancheepuram extended for three years and the government yet to allow resumption of mining in Tiruvallur district after last year`s floods, sand lorry operators travel to places like Arcot, Villupuram and even Tiruchi to get sand and meet the demand.
Against its requirement of nearly 2.5 lakh cubic feet of river sand a day, the city gets a little over 1.5 lakh cft.At present, lorries get a load comprising three units of sand for Rs.4,000 through second sales and it is sold for Rs.12,500 in the open market.
