Surat Builders Seek Penalty Relief
The Surat Builders Association wrote to the mayor about how the city government is punishing small builders more than big construction companies.
They said that big projects like the Surat Metro and government buildings have some problems, but those companies aren't being punished.
The builders asked the city to be nicer to small builders because it's a busy time and they need to finish their work on time.
Surat Builders Association (SDA) wrote to Mayor Daxesh Mavani about unfair penalties on private developers.
SDA claims giant construction firms like those working on Surat Metro and government buildings are not penalized for lapses.
SDA requests leniency for small and midsize builders, especially during peak season.
Meeting deadlines is crucial, and penalties are causing delays.
SDA is a member of the CREDAI body, led by its Surat president Jignesh Patel.
