Contractors demand payment of 90,000-Crore dues

Contractors in Maharashtra, backed by the Builders's Association of India (BAI), have sent a legal notice to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asking for payment of over ₹90,000 crore owed for building roads and bridges. After a year of being ignored by the state government, they're now warning they might take things to court.

TL;DR

Contractors give government 2 weeks to share payment plan

A big chunk—₹46,000 crore—is owed just by the public works department. The BAI has given the government two weeks to share a payment plan or face legal action. With the state spending heavily on social schemes and already running a deficit, contractors say their patience is wearing thin after repeated failed meetings and no real answers from officials.
