AGARTALA, April 23 (TIWN): MGNREGA employees are suffering from huge crisis with the indication of the illegal transfer of the Technical assistant from their post and recruiting junior assistant into their chair.
MGNREGA employees under Tripura on Saturday in front of chief engineer office raised voice against the illegal transfer of the Technical assistant from their post and recruiting junior assistant into their chair.
The employees further said that conspiracy is going on to transfer the technical assistant from their post illegally and recruiting the junior assistant in the in chair. They further said that they are not against the transfer but they are not in favour if the illegal transfer.
MGNREGA which is a one of the quintessential source of income for the rural families is hit with terror after central government has slashed down 1, 92, 36000 man days under the MGNREGA scheme for the Financial Year 2016-17.
It is to be mentioned here that the Centre released the largest ever tranche of Rs 12,230 crore to states for implementing the rural employment guarantee scheme. The money is likely to be used mainly to pay wages to workers who are employed under the scheme.
States has claimed that the funds released were not enough. Union Rural Development Minister Birender Singh said in a statement that the fund release would take care of the pending wage liability of the states for the previous financial year (2015-16) and help states run the programme during the new financial year (2016-17) of the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
Although Tripura sought for at least Rs. 1,600/- crores from central but the central govt. didn’t bother to think about Tripura Govt.’s proposal and no extra facility is hired for Tripura this time. Moreover, in compared to the last year, the central has slashed down 1, 92, 36000 man days under the MGNREGA scheme for the Financial Year 2016-17.
After a major shock was received from Tripura for publishing vague report under RD Dept. Tripura central slashed the fund for Tripura. However, instead of learning any lesson, the left front party here is crying for the full fund of Rs. 1600/- crores from RD Dept., which Ayyanagar during his visit at Delhi had asked the Central Ministry recently to sanction for Tripura. But Tripura received a master stroke from Central Ministry in case of fund allocation.
