Imphal, November 02:
Following the assurance given by the Chief Engineer of PWD that he will personally take the responsibility of the works executed by the contractors, encashment permi- ssion of cheques for PWD contractors may be released tomorrow, said an official source today.
The move of the Govt comes in the wake of the Manipur Hills and Plain Contractors Association launching a cease work strike since October 27 to protest the failure of the Chief Minister to honour the earlier assurance that the permission to encash their cheques will be issued by October 17.The contractors body in a statement today said that as part of it stir, its members toured NH-1 and NH-II and confiscated the keys and machineries of contractors who were violating the cease work strike called by them.
