Imphal, February 10 2023:
All Manipur Tribals Development Grievances Forum (AMTDGF) strongly reacted against the Government of Manipur for non release of funds under MGNREGS.
The forum urged the Government to release the funds for payment of outstanding due wages under MGNREGS to all 16 Districts of Manipur.
A press note by AMTDGF president informed that the Government had promised to release funds under MGNREGS in the last week of January, 2023 but failed to fulfil its promise to the registered job card holders.
The AMTDGF had also repeatedly appealed to the Government to release the funds at the earliest date, but no positive measures have been taken up in this regard till date.
The forum cautioned that it will not remain as a mere spectator to the issue and urged the State Government to release the funds before February 20, 2023 failing which the forum will be compelled to take up a series of democratic agitation.
