The West Godavari district is facing severe scarcity of sand due to halting of collection activity at four open reaches and stopping of operation by eight boatmen associations in the wake of recent Godavari floods.
Due to this, the works relating to various government projects, including construction of 1,200 additional classrooms under Nadu-Nedu, houses under Jagananna colonies and Urban Primary Health Centres, would be hit.
The State government has recently set a target to speed up the construction activity under various programmes.
