PWD Takes Possession of ITI Baijnath Block A Amid Payment Dispute Over Block B
The Public Works Department (PWD) has taken possession of Block A of the new Industrial Training Institute (ITI) building at Baijnath after partial payment to the contractor. However, Block B remains locked due to an outstanding payment of around Rs 3 crore, delaying full handover and academic activities. The contractor completed the building nearly a year ago but withheld possession over unpaid dues. The Technical Education Department is working to resolve the payment issue to enable full use of the facility.
