Additionally, the association is protesting the delay in renewing mining leases, with around 110 applications pending with the state government for over a year.
The strike has affected not only government agencies but also private construction firms, with developers like Ranjit Naiknavare, president of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI)-Pune Metro, expressing concerns about the impact on their projects.
