Please refer contractor or labor for removing the hard rock. Need to remove through manually or through crusher and my site is at Kanakapura road

I recently came across "expanding mortar" which is like a powder and needs to be mixed with water and poured into holes of the rock. The rock tends to break
slowly. This is easier and cost effective.

Check out your contractor.

Thanks for your response. Now my engineer having service from his contact, they are charging Rs. 3500 per day for tractor based compressor & 3 labour people. Is this good deal?

Venky: My enginner is not aware of "expanding mortar" technique. As of now using manual service to remove the rock

Thanks,
Raj
