500 NREGA workers in Andhra allegedly not paid wages for nearly 20 months -Charan Teja

-TheNewsMinute.com

The workers alleged that there have been irregularities in paying their wages for nearly 20 months, to the tune of Rs 20 lakh.

Around 500 daily wage labourers registered under the NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) in Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district have alleged irregularities in the payment of their wages for nearly 20 months, to the tune of Rs 20 lakh. The incident came to light from Chirutapudi gram panchayat of Ambajipeta mandal in East Godavari district. After complaints from the workers, Human Rights Forum (HRF) conducted a fact-finding visit to the village earlier this week.

HRF district president Muthyala Srinivas Rao told TNM, "Around 500 daily wage workers are suffering as they are not getting wages for work that they have done."

According to HRF, the workers claimed that their complaints were not addressed despite multiple appeals to concerned authorities at the district level. The HRF found fault with the field level staff responsible to implement the scheme, and said that they failed to issue job cards on time and did not record the work done by the labourers efficiently.
