The Road Ministry top advisor, appreciating the work of charity organizations has called for help to owed contractors.
“Seyed Hassan Mirshafee”, Road Minister’s advisor in rural roads affairs, stressing the high work pressure, stated in a news conference that although we’re financially restrained but by considerable contributions from charities and nongovernmental sectors, we were able to act in developing the road system of the country.
He emphasized that such use of charity and public contribution and capacities are not limited financially and we have also been advised and aided by their ideas and reflections.
“At the time, 92 percent of the country’s rural areas have paved roads but border regions have remained behind the rural roads construction average”, the Road Ministry top official mentioned.
Mirshafee, at the end noted that currently there are 400.000 workers who need to get paid by the contractors who haven’t been received their owed funds and debts yet. Calling such contractors benifactors, he suggested that the mentioned charity organizations can help out the contractors by opening an account and fund them.
