Separate deal with cement companies for Tamil Nadu government?...doubtful Anbumani Ramadoss...!

Is it a mystery that the manufacturers of construction materials including cement are not reducing the prices as stated by the Government of Tamil Nadu? Pamaka youth leader Anbumani Ramadas has posed a series of questions. In his statement, he said prices of construction materials, including cement, continue to rise in Tamil Nadu alone, unlike in any other state in India. The government, which has to take action against the companies involved and control the prices of construction materials, has not been able to understand the mystery of peeping those companies.

In Tamil Nadu, prices of construction materials, including cement, have risen by 40% in the last few weeks alone. The price of a bundle of cement, which was Rs 370 before the curfew was imposed, has now risen 41% to Rs 520. Similarly, the price of one and a half inch gravel has gone up from Rs 3,400 to Rs 3,900 per unit and the price of three-quarter inch gravel has gone up from Rs 3,600 to Rs 4,100. M - Sand is priced at Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 per unit and construction wire at Rs. 68 thousand to 75 thousand and a load of brick from Rs. 18 thousand to Rs. Increased to 24 thousand.

Cement prices have not increased this much in any other state in India. In the capital Delhi, a bundle of cement sells for Rs 350, Andhra Pradesh for Rs 370, Telangana for Rs 360 and Karnataka for Rs 380. But in Tamil Nadu alone, a bundle of cement sells for more than 40% at Rs 520. Prices of other construction materials are up to 25% lower in other states than in Tamil Nadu. Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana have the highest number of construction projects compared to Tamil Nadu; Tamil Nadu produces more cement than those states.

Even so, there is no doubt that the reason for the high prices of construction materials, including cement, in Tamil Nadu is that their manufacturers have formed alliances and artificially inflated prices. On the 9th I was asking the Government of Tamil Nadu to take action to reduce the prices of construction materials including cement in Tamil Nadu.

But for the next 10 days, no constructive steps were taken to reduce the prices of construction materials, including cement, in Tamil Nadu. Industry Minister Gold South said it had called on manufacturers of cement and construction materials and warned that action would be taken if prices were not reduced. However, he warned that cement prices have not been reduced for several days.

So are the manufacturers of cement and construction materials beyond the jurisdiction of the State of Tamil Nadu? Or as we say to reduce the price .... Do you play with the agreement between the Government of Tamil Nadu and the manufacturers of construction materials that you set the price and sell as you wish? Does not understand.

It is clear that prices have been unfairly raised since the industry minister insisted on reducing the prices of construction materials, including cement. If prices are not reduced even after the Tamil Nadu government asks them to reduce the inflated prices, does that mean they do not respect the Tamil Nadu government? What is the reluctance to take drastic action against such companies that challenge the government? Why has Chief Minister MK Stalin remained silent on this issue so far?

The construction industry is one of the most important sources of employment for the poor in Tamil Nadu. The construction industry has been hit hard by rising prices of construction materials, including cement, and millions of workers have lost their jobs. In their interest, the government should order an immediate reduction in the prices of construction materials, including cement, in the interest of the state; He urged the government to take stern action against companies that refuse to do so.
