KATHMANDU, July 14: Construction entrepreneurs have taken to the streets protesting against the failure of the government to settle their due even as the ongoing Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 is ending soon.

The construction entrepreneurs have maintained that a large sum of money has not been paid by the government to them. The Federation of Contractors’ Association of Nepal (FCAN) staged a sit-in at Maitighar Mandala protesting against the failure of the government to settle their dues and its decision to extend the deadline to settle the dues.

The construction entrepreneurs have claimed that the payment was halted after they submitted the bill after completing due process. They have demanded that the price adjustment should be implemented, and the deadline for the construction work should be extended.

Here are some photos of the protest taken by Republica’s photojournalist Prasan Gurung.
