The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Contractors in Chintamani held a symbolic protest outside the rural water supply and sanitation office, alleging their Jal Jeevan Mission project bills have not been paid for two to three years.
- A protesting contractor said the state government's share has been released but central funds are yet to arrive, and that some contractors who took loans to complete work are facing severe financial distress.
- The contractors said ₹80 crore was released on May 28, but officials are still not approving their bills despite them submitting the necessary documents.
- The issue matters because unpaid dues affect contractors and could impact water supply project work in the region.
What to watch next
- The planned contractors' protest in front of the zilla panchayat on August 5
- Whether officials approve the pending bills after the ₹80 crore grant release
- Whether the central government's pending share of funds for the mission reaches the state
