Imphal, September 06, 2013:
The Tamenglong Block Mate Forum has demanded payment of 45 days' wages to the job card holders of MGNREGS in Tamenglong, which have been left pending for quite long, at the earliest.
In a statement, the Forum stated that even though the DC, Project Officer and DRDA of Tamenglong district have been pressed for clearance of the pending wages for 45 days under MGNREGS for the year 2012-13, no positive response have been given their side so far.
The Forum pointed out that with exception to Tamenglong, the wages for the said period have been paid to job card holders in all other districts of the State.
If the pending wages were not paid at the earliest, the Forum would be compelled to launch agitations and take the help of RTI, the statement added.
