Constructors lament severe cement shortage

Cement is unavailable in the country now and constructors said that they cannot meet deadlines of their contracts due to this reason.

Even though a bag of cement has to be sold at Rs. 950, now it is being sold at Rs.1,200 causing untold hardships for the contractors.

Kurunegala District Building Constructors’ Association Chairman N.M.Nimal Perera said that authorities should take immediate steps to resolve the issue.
