Mr. Manjunath, in a press conference, stated that the State government had not cleared the bills from 2022-23. The association had appealed to the Chief Minister and several cabinet ministers, as well as other officers, multiple times to resolve the issue. However, the government had neither fulfilled the demand nor convened a meeting with the concerned officers.
The contractors, he said, had borrowed loans from various sources, mortgaging their properties and jewellery to complete the work. However, he alleged that the government had not responded to the contractors’ problems.
