Bishnupur, April 12 2023:
With funds for material cost not made available to the Gram Panchayats concerned, the developmental works taken up under MGNREGS have been stalled in respect of Toubul Gam Panchayat.
The Toubul Gram Panchayat MGNREGA Monitoring Committee along with media persons inspected the ground levelling, fencing and gate construction works at Toubul Mamang playground under the work programme of MGNREGS.
During the visit, it was found that the works remain incomplete as the funds for material cost have not been made available.
Addressing media persons in this connection, Monitoring Committee secretary Th Bir Singh informed that MGNREGA deputy secretary Sanjay Kumar had on March 23 released an amount of Rs 330 crore as material cost and instructed the state government to hand over the funds to the panchayats concerned within three days which is yet to be complied with.
Due to withholding of the funds, all developmental works under MGNREGA remain incomplete, he said and appealed to the chief minister and the ministers concerned to do the needful for releasing the amount and help in the smooth execution of development works.
He also appealed to the chief minister and the YAS minister to develop the Toubul Mamang playground to groom footballers of national and international repute.
