The Association warned that if the issue is not resolved at the earliest, it will launch a statewide “Hallabol” (mass protest) movement.

They added that the non-release of funds is also adversely affecting the execution of development works across the state.The Association also appealed to fellow contractors not to undertake any work related to the Prime Minister’s proposed visit on July 17 as part of its protest. It further stated that if the government fails to take prompt and positive action, a detailed agitation programme will be announced and large-scale protests will be launched across Haryana.
