2017-11-14

Construction Entrepreneurs on Tuesday padlocked Charikot-based Division Road Office demanding that the contract amount release. A group led by Secretary Rajesh Thapa of the Construction Entrepreneurs Association had padlocked the office. Thapa said they were compelled to padlock the office due to delay in realising the contract amount. He further informed that around Rs 7 crore belonging to Dolakha-based construction companies was yet to be released. Road division chief Ashok Tiwari, who is working in Sindhupalchok, said he was unaware the office had been padlocked. He said that he had been seeking the due amount from the finance ministry to release to entrepreneurs soo. The amount could not be released due to delay on the part of the ministry of finance, he added. समयमै भुक्तानी नदिएको भन्दै निर्माण व्यवसायीले दोलखास्थित डिभिजन सडक कार्यालयमा ताला लगाएका छन् । साउन महिनामै पाउनुपर्ने करिब ७ करोड भुक्तानी रोकिएकाले मंगलबारदेखि तालाबन्द गर्नुपरेको निर्माण व्यवसायीले बताएका छन् । चरिकोट–दोलखा, कृषि बजार, जिरी सडक सुधारलगायतका कामको भुक्तानी रोकिएको कार्यालयको भनाइ छ । डिभिजन सडक प्रमुख अशोक तिवारीले अर्थमन्त्रालयले निकासा नपठाएकाले काम सम्पन्न गरेका निर्माण व्यवसायीलाई भुक्तानी दिन नसकिएको बताए । प्रहरीको सहयोगमा ताला तोडेर काम सञ्चालन गरिने उनले जानकारी दिए ।
