Gauhati HC Orders Assam Govt to Expedite Contractor Payments

The Gauhati High Court directed the Assam government to release pending payments to contractor Rishi Gupta for work completed two years ago. The court criticized the government’s financial management and noted disparities in fund allocation. Despite a September 30 deadline, payments remained unpaid, prompting further court intervention. A follow-up hearing is set for November 20 to ensure compliance.
