Cement price up by Rs. 20

[rochel1977]

[12-10-2007 1.20pm] The government has decided to increase cement prices by Rs. 20 with effect from next week.

Accordingly, the price of a 50 kg cement pack will go up from the present Rs. 645 to Rs. 665.

The decision was taken after Trade Minister Bandula Gunawardena and Construction Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne had a meeting today (October 12th), with local cement producers and representatives of foreign producers at the Trade Ministry in Vauxhall street, Colombo.

Currently, there is an acute scarcity of both locally-produced and imported cement in the market.

Dr. Senaratne has attributed this shortage to construction activities gathering momentum in the Eastern Province.

If the shortage is due to constructions we should be happy that it is happening at such a speed.

Most probably due to the strikes they had in the Ports Authority fee days back as effected the clearence of goods.
Price hike, well you have to bear some things for the sake of the country. If it get's divided, we'll never get it back.
