    Default Weighbridge frauds : Fraudulent practices while delivering building materials

    Some of the lorry owners in connivance of weighbridge owners were deliberately using fraudulent practices while selling building materials. In the wake of increasing frauds, consumers have to verify the weight before making payments.

    One may cross check the weight in another nearby weighbridge.

    Eg : Weighing sand when it is made wet.
