A team of the agitating FCAN members padlocked the office of Sushil Babu Dhakal, Director General of the Department of Roads on Sunday morning. According to them, the lock will not be opened before 1 PM today.


FCAN has started the third phase of protest against the non-payment of wages and non-extension of projects. They have claimed that a large sum of money has not been paid by the government to them. The delay has caused numerous challenges and setbacks within the construction industry.
