Around 300 MGNREGS job card holders of Khekman GP ward no 1 under Lilong AC contended that their rights have been violated for the last five years due to non-release of their wages and not allowed to work.
In a press conference of job card holders held at Khekman on Tuesday, a job card holder, named, H Gomti said that every household under Khekman GP is helping people affected by the ethnic conflict since May 3 .
Even their PDS food grains were donated for people displaced by the conflict.
However, amidst the unrest situation, elected representatives and officials are colluding and violating the rights of the people as the job card holders are deprived of the work and their wages kept withheld, she contended, while urging authority concerned to look into the matter at the earliest and ensure their fights.
