Mafia behind soaring cement price. Constructions must be stopped for three months (VIDEO)

Date:

The constructions in Sri Lanka should be stopped for the next three months to prevent the soaring of cement price as it is being handled by a trade mafia run by importers, said Susantha Liyanarachchi, Chairman of the Sri Lanka National Construction Association, speaking to media today (26).

The construction industry has already collapsed due this trade mafia and as of now all government constructions carried out by them have been ceased, he revealed, adding that the cement price is soaring without any regulation.
