Imphal, February 10 2023:
All Manipur Tribals Development Grievances Forum (AMTDGF) has warned the state government that it would launch series of democratic agitations if the pending MGNREGS fund is not released before February 20 .
In a release, AMTDGF president Hesho Lorho expressed strong resentment over the state government's failure to release the pending MGNREGS fund.
The Forum demanded the government to release the fund for payment of outstanding wages under MGNREGS to all the 16 districts as had been promised in January.
AMTDGF further cautioned that it will not remain a mere spectator to the issue and will continue to pressurise the government by taking up a series of democratic agitations if it fails to keep the promise made to the people of the state.
