Karwar, Oct 19, 2021: Demanding the state government to solve their problem, the Uttara Kannada District Civil Contractors Association will organize a massive protest rally on October 27.

A meeting of the Association was held at Kumta APMC Hall today which was presided over by Association President Shyamsundar M Bhat.

The members expressed concern over the works being given to the KRIDL and Nirmithi Kendra. They felt such a move would adversely affect them.
