The sit-in protest was staged at Sagolband Sapam Leikai Khul Lampak Community Hall.
Speaking to media persons, N Bikram, a job card holder from Ward No 3 of Sagolband GP stated that the job card holders of Sagolband are facing a tough time due to non-disbursement of the central fund under MGNREGA by the Government.

He made an appeal to the State Government to release the central fund in order to alleviate the suffering of the people who have been under economic duress because of the pandemic.
Further he informed that job card holders only receive a daily wage of Rs 251 during a time when workers largely earn around Rs 500 for a day's work.
N Bikram asserted that disregarding their grievances would be akin to violating their human rights and as such he called for the attention of the relevant authorities into the matter.
