Garhsankar April 18 - Even after sweating on the job, MNREGA workers have to wait 4, 4 months for their work, not getting their wages as per the rules is very bad. Regarding the non-payment of wages by MNREGA labor movement to the MNREGA workers for the work done in village Bassi Ghulam Hussain, movement president Jai Gopal Dhiman took Met Nirmal Kaur along and listened to their problems and the workers said that in this era of high cost They are in a lot of trouble due to non-payment of daily wages and Dhiman took the workers along with him and strongly condemned the BDPO and the government of Block 1 Hoshiarpur of the Punjab government. And said that all this is happening due to the negligence of the government. Manega workers said that Surjit Kaur Job Card No: 36 did not receive money for 13 days in February 2024. Similarly, Tarsem Kaur (Job Card No. 88) did not get wages for 10 days on December 23 and 13 days on February 24.

Dhiman said that all this is due to the mistakes of the government and concerned officials. While MNREGA has a special budget schedule. According to the rules, if any MNREGA worker gets the wages for the work done after 15 days. So he is entitled to late wage allowance of Rs 1500 to Rs 3000 under MNREGA Workers' Delay Payment Act 1936. But what is going on? Allowances to MNREGA workers are deliberately not given at low levels when it is a constitutional right.
BDPO along with some corrupt people sitting on the part of MGNREGA budget at the district level are making waves. What happens is that the workers are given medicine by saying not to work in different ways. A MNREGA worker is actually already a victim of illiteracy and is taken unfair advantage of. Dhiman said that he exposed many scams in Magnarega But the concerned BDPOs and other senior officials blame them for departmental mistakes. Scams run rampant in Magnarega. Dhiman complained to Lokpal Magnarega Hoshiarpur in this regard And demanded that as per the Late Payment of Wages Act as per the rules, all MGNREGA workers should be forced to pay Rs 3000 along with compensation. He demanded that the BDPO of Block 1 should be replaced immediately so that the Panchayat Department of Hoshiarpur can be freed from corruption.
