The construction entrepreneurs of Bhojpur padlocked the office of the Infrastructure Development in Bhojpur. They were agitated against the State government due to non-receipt of payment on time. Entrepreneurs said that the amount to be paid after completion of the work is around Rs 15 Crore. Despite the coronavirus and incessant rains, the development plan was completed and the bill was submitted, but the businessmen and workers are in trouble due to the non-payment of crores. They further said that the office will be locked until the payment is made and all other projects will be halted. Under the Infrastructure Development Office Bhojpur, 30 schemes are in operation in Bhojpur and 25 in Dhankuta.
