The ZTTLMC mentioned that more than 15 meetings have been convened with follow up resolutions for the ongoing construction work and that accordingly, the ZTTLMC have given their full support for the completion of the works at the earliest.
“However, the NHIDCL, Madhucon and the Contractors has taken a U-Turn to the resolutions assured,” it alleged, terming it as a clear suppression and disregard for the joint resolutions.
