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.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday termed as 'disturbing' the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley and said the government should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue.

He sought to know as to how Indian soldiers lost their lives during a de-escalation process and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh should come out with a clearer picture.

"Reports coming from #GalwanValley are disturbing. Why did our soldiers lose their lives during a de-escalation process? In national interest, the PM and RM should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue with the Chinese. #LADAKHSTANDOFF," Gowda tweeted. An Indian Army officer and two soldiers were killed during the confrontation with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the first such incident in the last 45 years that reflected massive escalation in the five- week border row.

The Army said India lost an officer and two soldiers during the violent face-off, while there were casualties on the Chinese side as well.
