Members of the Contractors Association said that the PWD/R&B is going to start the new system for releasing the payments in which there is no chance of wrong payment in other accounts and claim this new system is very fair. In this regard they welcomed the new system known as Pays Account Office System but before launching this new system the department should clear the pending payment of contractors and then start the new system, otherwise contractors do not allow this system and launch agitation against the Department and against the Government.
They also warned the Government if they are not releasing their pending payment soon then they will come on roads and block the National Highway and Government will be responsible for the same.
