Bishnupur, May 07 2019:
Ward Development Committee Skilled and Unskilled Labour Association has appealed the authority concerned to release the 11 months salary of the 54 workers under the Nambol Municipal Council.
Speaking to media persons at Nambol Municipal Council complex today, secretary of the association N Nabachandra Singh said that the labourers have not been paid for 19 months.
11 months wages of the skilled and unskilled labourers were released by the MAHUD Department in March this year.
However, due to 'a case concerning the Nambol Municipal Council', the wages in the Ward Development account could not be released to the beneficiaries, he said.
The delay has caused immense hardship to the lives of the labourers who have little source of income, he said urging authorities concerned to treat the 'case' and the 'wages issues' separately and release the 11 months salary.
President of the association, L Sudhir Singh and members attended the event.
