DMDK chief Vijayakant on Saturday urged the Centre and the State government to set up a regulatory commission to control the prices of construction material.
In a statement, he pointed out that the prices of cement, sand and steel, among others, have gone up by 25%-30% and have affected the construction industry.
He urged the State government to take immediate measures to control the prices as a lot of people were dependent on the sector.
