Mangalore construction industry hit by ban on stone crushers
The festive season fails to cheer builders of Mangalore. Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) have sent closure notices on crusher units in the state following a Supreme Court directive. As a result, construction and development activities have come to a halt.
Of the 3,700 crusher units units across Karnataka, 200 units are in the district of Mangalore. The stone crushers have stopped working since September 22 and the construction industry had to stop its activities as they ran out of stock.
CREDAI has expressed concerns about the impact of the situation. It may soon add to rise in cost and will also affect the possession time of the customer.
