Job card holders of MGNREGS under Keirao Makting Gram Panchayat have warned the Pradhan of the GP that they will complain the authorities concerned within three days regarding alleged payment of MGNREGS wages to some people who did not work for the Central Government scheme.
Speaking to reporters at Manipur Press Club today, President of JAC of Job Card Holders, Md Habibur Rahman said, Keirao Makting Gram Panchayat Pradhan Ranjina Begum had paid wages to some people who did not work for MGNERGS from the amount meant for job card holders.
Hurling allegation against the Pradhan, Habibur Rahman said, the JAC, in a meeting held on November 15 last year, demanded the Pradhan to hand over account pass books to respective job card holders so that they could personally withdraw their wages from their accounts.
The meeting also demanded the Pradhan to finish the incomplete works which had been started execution under MGNREGS.
The job card holders also asked the Pradhan to pay the wages which had been already withdrawn by her from the bank.
Alleging that Pradhan's husband Abdul Salam not only abused some job card holders but also bashed them up when they complained about these irregularities, the JAC President warned that they would lodge complaints to the authorities concerned and the Post Office where money accounts are opened for job card holders.
