The association’s divisional president Ikramullah, general secretary Imran Takur, and others spoke at the event, complaining that the government was not doing enough to alleviate their concerns.
The contractors claimed they were inaugurating projects in their constituencies while criticising the PTI MPs, but they had failed to win the flow of development funding from the government. The contractors, according to the speakers, have been unable to continue working on government projects due to a lack of funding for the past three years.
