Mangaluru: Customers who need sand for building construction no longer need to go in search of sand. The district administration has come to the assistance of the citizens by releasing “Sand Bazaar” mobile app. Now the customer can book the amount of sand he requires from his fingertips. The app has received good response from the public. Already 43 people have booked for and 18 people have already received their consignment.

The customers must download ‘Sand Bazaar’ app onto their mobile phones. Later, all information including address and where the san needs to be delivered must be filled. Along with Aadhaar number, information regarding the closest sand depot must be sent. On this occasion an OTP will be sent and the information regarding the charges for the transportation of the sand. This payment can be done through PayTM or net banking. Soon after payment a message will be sent to the mobile which must be brought to the notice of the concerned sand depot. Besides the depot too will receive a message from the control room. Sand transport will be conducted based on this.
