Call to pay pending wages under MNREGA

Memorandum submitted to district administration

Seeking payment of pending wages and other problems related to works taken up under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MNREGA), members of the Grameena Krishi Kooli Karmikara Sanghatane have submitted a memorandum to the district administration. A delegation of the organisation, led by president Rajappa Aladahalli and Gangadhar Badiger of the SUCI(C), visited the office of the chief executive officer of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayat on Saturday and submitted the memorandum. The delegation members brought to the notice of the officials that the wages had not been credited to the bank accounts of job card holders even after three months. Consequently the job card holders, who had no other source of income, were facing hardships, they said.
