You have mentioned, one lot of SSB brick quality was not good. Normally how many bricks are supplied in one lot? How you have handled the situation. Weather this lot was rejected and sent back or accepted by giving warning regarding next lot.

What precaution we can take regarding the quality of bricks to avoid such type of situations.

Hi All,

Just wanted to check if the supplies of TN sand coming from Trichy Stockyard and Quarries have been sorted out?

My contacts are not reachable, any updates guys?

Many of the constructions have come to halt in our area. This shows how much sand was sourced from TN. Without sand every other related business getting dull. I don't know how far this will take us.

Hi venky and others,
Any update on sand issue? I am kind of struck for past few weeks as I am not able to get Trichy sand supply. I used to pay Rs 23-25k for a 4 wheel load, but now I hear it is Rs 40k+ and very rarely you will be able to get the load. Any suggestions?

Thanks
