Mangalore, November 14: ACC Ltd has launched 'Coastal+', a premium eco-friendly cement brand in Mangalore recently. Coastal+ is a technologically advanced cement offering superior protection against coastal climate.

Launching the product in Mangalore on last Thursday, Mr Ramit Budhraja, Chief Executive, South & West Region, ACC Ltd, said that Coastal+ is specially designed considering the exposure conditions in coastal areas. This cement provides protection to structure from aggressive environment, he said.

Explaining this, Mr Budhraja said concrete made from Coastal+ is more cohesive. With this, concrete structures will have low permeability compared to structures made with ordinary cement. Lower permeability results in higher protection from various exposures, making the structures more durable.

The cement is ideal for usage in foundations, roofing and to the sections exposed to external environment.

With Coastal+, ACC also offers value-added services like guidance on good construction practices, testing of ingredients at site, site visits at different stages of construction, basic proportion design for concrete, testing performance of concrete structure. ACC will also offer durability tests like RCPT (Rapid Chloride Penetration Test) and UPVT (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test) to customers who use Coastal+.

Asked about the cost of the cement, he said a 50-kg bag of Coastal+ costs Rs 340. The ordinary general purpose cement costs around Rs 325 a bag.

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
