A huge amount of fund provided under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for providing wages to job card holders in respect of Thanga Part I and II has been withdrawn deceitfully without executing any works, alleged H Ibochou, member of Rural Development Society, Thanga.
Disclosing this to media, H Ibochou said that the wages for the construction and repairing of roads, drains and various other development programmes taken up under MGNREGS in Thanga Part I and II Zila Parishad area have been withdrawn without executing the allocated works, thus depriving the rights of job card holders.
He further informed that a number of individuals who are in the working list under MGNREGS in Thanga Part I and II Zila Parishad are still deprived of their job cards.
