Nizamabad: The state-owned Telangana State Mineral Development Corporation (TSMDC), on Friday, would be selling sand online in Nizamabad district. The corporation signed an MOU with two private patta land owners and began to sell it on online. In this system, person who requires sand should book their order online and also pay for it and then could collect their stocks from a quarry.
Corporation officials, here on Friday, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kotagirimandal Karegaon village patta land owners K. Babureddy, Prasad Reddy, Prabhakar Reddy and Jayamma, to sell their sand, available on their patta lands. The Mineral Development Corporation officials would first study the sand quantity with geo tagging system at patta land and would pay Rs. 300 for cubic meter for land owners and would collect Rs. 650 from buyers.
Already, corporation officials have taken over two quarries on lease basis and are holding talks with others to start add more quarries to their list in the district. Nizamabad Distric Collector D. Ronald Rose, said that the online sales was in tune with the state government’s sand policy. The policy was meant to prevent illegal sand mining in the state and to provide sufficient stocks of sands for construction works at lower rates.
According to this policy government changed the norms and gave permission for TSMDC to sell the sand available in private patta lands and this is the first MoU in Telangana state, Rose added. Earlier, patta land owners used to give their lands to private contractors, who illegally dug rivers on their lands and also illegally transported sand, Collector added.
