Coimbatore: The quantity of river sand being transported to the town has plunged from 500 gadgets on a mean to 50 gadgets according to day. On the other hand, small-scale realtors are reluctant on the usage of M-sand, as they are waiting for the state executive to chill out norms for mining sand.
About six months in the past, a unit of river sand was to be had for Rs 12,000 according to unit. "Today, we are getting it for Rs 30,000 per unit. This has resulted in all small-scale realty projects coming to a standstill," mentioned the president of Coimbatore Civil Engineers' Association, R Karthick.
The town is slowly shifting against using M-sand, realtors say. "The shift is slow but it is not going to be permanent. The people who have stopped construction work due to the lack of availability of river sand at buyable prices are willing to wait even for six more months for the prices to come down," mentioned Karthick. "Also, there is lack of awareness among people and small-scale real estate dealers about the use of M-sand," he added.
However, large-scale real property sellers are sure about using M-sand for building. Speaking at a press convention recently, the president of Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association, Coimbatore, Rajesh B Lund mentioned, "It is high time people started using M-sand for construction. It is better than the river sand and can be easily available."
At present there are 12 M-sand production gadgets in Coimbatore. "We want more and more people to start manufacturing M-sand. The requirement is nearly 500 units per day, but we get only around 100 units," mentioned Lund. On the other hand, Karthick mentioned quarry homeowners, who may just simply start production M-sand, are reluctant about setting up the infrastructure fearing loss once prices of river sand fall.
Karthick additionally recommended for setting up a tracking frame that can take a look at the standard of M-sand manufactured and supplied in the state. "There is a National Building Code that prescribes the quality of M-sand. If the state government sets up a monitoring body, we will be able to promote M-sand in the city," mentioned Karthick.
