Imphal, December 02 2023:
Taking serious note on non-payment of MGNREGS funds in the hill districts of Manipur, the Federation of All Tribal Youth Clubs Manipur (FATYCM) urged the Government for immediate release of funds in the interest of the poor job card holders before Christmas.
A press release by Hopeson M, secretary FATYCM, said that, 'The long pending non-payment of material components of 2020 -2022 financial years for MGNREGS is a matter of great concern and is one of the major factors for Manipur ranking the lowest in the country with regards to MGNREGS' .
In view of the above, FATYCM appealed to all Departments concerned to look into the matter seriously to prevent unwanted outcomes.
