Sand available at Rs 5.50 per cubic feet in Punjab
The Punjab Cabinet on Friday gave its nod to lower pit head price of sand and gravel to Rs 5.50 per cubic feet, an official statement said, adding the move will lower the cost of the construction materials.
A decision to this effect was taken by the Council of Ministers in its meeting held here under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the statement said.
In August 2022, the state government had fixed the pit head selling price of sand and gravel at the rate of Rs 9 per cubic feet including loading charges.
The Cabinet also approved the proposal of the department to increase the sum of royalty and penalty charged from transporters of sand and gravel who are unable to produce any relevant documents at the time of checking.
