Officials of Delta Infra, which has been entrusted with the work of handling this sand, said that the quantity of sand brought now amounts to 2,482 truckloads. This is the first installment of five lac tonnes of sand proposed to be imported from Malaysia to handle shortage of sand and skyrocketing prices.
