Urging the government to reconsider its decision, he said the government may appoint officials as in-charges of sand reaches and oversee delivery at a cost fixed by it until July 1, he said. Also with the ban on transportation, builders could not move sand from one site to another. The government may introduce a voluntary disclosure scheme and may collect some price for it, Mr. Raju suggested.
