Shocking Extra Fees Being Charged for Andhra’s ‘Free’ Sand!

The implementation of the state’s newly minted Free Sand Scheme has encountered intense localized resistance across the Rayalaseema belt. General consumers and local transport networks have formally lodged complaints targeting rogue sand reach operations in Madanapalle and Rajampet.

The complaints allege that corrupt management groups are completely bypassing the government’s free distribution guidelines. Truck drivers claim they are being forced to pay unauthorized premiums ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹2,800 per commercial vehicle load under the guise of fake loading fees.

Compounding the financial extortion, real estate developer associations in the Annamayya district have flagged severe quality drops in the sand being supplied from active riverbeds. Local construction bodies have petitioned state mining executives, demanding instant cancellations of rogue licenses and the creation of strict checking points.
