sand lorry strike - prices shoot up

[nagsbhat]

I just met a person who works at Vidhana soudha. He also said the same, it will take another 20 days to identify and allocate the blocks.

Which area are you building. Would that person supply in Kanakapura road near Metro Cash and Carry? If yes, please drop his number to me at nagsbhat@gmail.com

At hosaroad, Near to electronic city. Actually i gave 3k more because of middle man (my neighbor). Later we came to know that actual price is 40k. So in this kind of things never trust anyone. Always go to the spot directly and fix the price with them. This is one lesson to my father. There are some sand lorry points near huskur gate, bomma sandra, chandapura and attiblle.. you can convenience them to take nice road. I dont have that lorry owner no. My neighbor only handled everything. But before fixing the price please make sure that it is direct load instead of shifting load..

Strike is almost over. But govt have to allot sand dumping areas. acc to some minister it may take 20 more days and at present 7000 loads sand is available. The are planning to call tender asap. Yesterday i gave 43k to 540 cft, thirchy sand. Cost is more but no other option. Sand is superb for plasting purpose

Please ready my previous posts. I dont have contractor no. My neighbor only deal this. I heard that there is some sand lorry point near tin factory and they are bit cheaper. please never contact sand lorry guy on phone. Most of the people do this mistake. Up to now we got 4 loads of sand. For 2 loads we directly went to the spot and fixed the price. Both loads are good in quality and quantity and price is also reasonable. Other 2 loads we got thorough my neighbor. Both loads price is high. So better go to the spot directly and fix the price after seeing the sand.. In 2 loads almost we lost 10k..

Strike is called off.. Still greedy sand lorry owners are saying that there is a huge Que in front of sand filling yards so it may take 2 more days to prices go down. Sad part is filling limit is only 3 feet in the lorry.. Now onwards no sawari load nothing

I heard govt has agreed for 950 cft which is fully loaded truck. Please revalidate...
