Dharamsala, April 11
The road contractors in Kangra district have threatened to go on a strike from tomorrow alleging that X forms being demanded by PWD to clear their bills was creating hurdles in their work.
Navneet Thakur, president of road contractor union in Kangra, while talking to The Tribune, said that many contractors were facing problems as the department was demanding X forms to clear their bills. “The road contractors buy crushing material from stone crusher owners and those having mining leases. They just give us bills but do not give X forms. So the contractors are facing problems. We had brought the problem to the notice of PWD authorities but no solution has been provided. So we have decided to stop work of laying bitumen on roads from tomorrow,” he said. — TNS
