CM favours 'local' contractors in Jharkhand 

Chief Minister Hemant Soren did two notable things today. One, he paid homage to the former Prime Minister of India, Bharat Ratna Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on his death anniversary.

Two, he talked about said local contractors and said they will be given priority in the schemes so that they can work in the schemes and ensure their participation in the development of the state. 

"No one will be allowed to encroach on the rights of the people of Jharkhand. The government is determined to fulfill every promise made in the manifesto as soon as possible. This will prove to be a milestone in the direction of providing local people with employment and self-employment", the CM said in a statement.
