Job Card holders under NREGS of Tengnoupal Block expressed apprehension whether Chandel DC and Programme Officer of the Block have misappropriated the money collected from NREGS workers for opening insurance accounts.
A press release issued by five Village Chiefs of Tengnoupal Block alleged that Rs 400 each from all the job card holders were collected for opening insurance account in Birla-Sun Company.
However, the press release added, no related documents have been shown or delivered to the job card holders and concerned Village Chiefs yet.
It added that no such insurance amount has been deducted from the wages of job card holders of other Blocks of Chandel district.
Demanding immediate refund of the insurance amount, the job card holders warned that an indefinite bandh would be called on Pallel-Chandel Hqs road and Pallel-Moreh road from 6 am of August 7 if a solution is not brought by August 5 .
