Taking exception to the delay in clearing pending bills, the North Karnataka Civil Contractors Association has warned the State government that it will stop works related to government projects if the government continues to delay payment of pending bills.
Addressing presspersons in Dharwad on Monday, president of North Karnataka Civil Contractors Association Subhash Patil said that they are hoping that the new government will protect the interest of the civil contractors by paying them their unpaid dues.
However, the new government led by the Congress too has adopted the same delaying tactics of the previous BJP government, he said.
