Kakinada: A total of 12 companies have submitted bids to transport sand from sand ramps to stock points, according to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema District Collector R. Mahesh Kumar. He explained that the sand would be loaded manually at the sand mining sites and transported from the sand point to the stock point, and then from the stock point to the consumer. The officials will first verify that the bidders meet five critical legal requirements before confirming the tenders for the 12 sand reaches. The successful bidders will be tasked with transporting sand until March 2025. The district-level sand committee will review all parameters before finalizing the bids.
