pending dues: rly contractors to observe strike
Ghaziabad: Indian Railways has not paid the bills of thousands of construction companies for a long time. This amount of bill is above twenty five thousand crores. Railway contractors across the country will be on a symbolic strike on March 6 to protest against non-payment. If this amount of payment is not done before Holi festival, then all the railway contractors of the country will go on indefinite strike. In a Press conference held here on Tuesday, the National president of IR Infrastructure Providers Association, IRIPA, Balakishan Sharma, announced that he was unable to pay salaries to his employees due to non-payment of their companies from the railways on time. He alleged that just two days ago, Railway contractor Devanket Reddy committed suicide in Hyderabad due to non-payment. If the condition remains the same, the other railway contractors of the country will either die of hunger in the same way or they will also be forced to take steps like Reddy. He told that at present, more than 20 lakh workers across the country are doing day-to-day construction work on various railway projects. Sharma said that the construction companies have no money to pay them daily wages or monthly wages. Even on the festival of Holi, there are people to pay their salary. For the past several months, the Railways have almost not paid the construction companies their bills. Whereas, the contractors are responsible for paying the installments of loan to the banks to the workers and other staff to the suppliers and the arrears of the construction material used in the projects.
