&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Not paying minimum wages amounts to forced labour&amp;rsquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;VISAKHAPATNAM: &lt;/em&gt;The Human Rights Forum (HRF) and Samalochana Association expressed their disappointment over the quantum of increase in the wage rate of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The increase in wages by a meagre ₹8, from the existing ₹237 to ₹245 a day, is measly and amounts to mere eyewash. We are concerned about the gap between the minimum wages stipulated in the Minimum Wages Act and the MGNREGA wages,&amp;rdquo; said V.S. Krishna of HRF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Not paying minimum wages in public works amounts to forced labour and it is deplorable that successive governments are unwilling to abide by Constitutional principles in the matter, said B. Chakradhar of Samalochana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A well-functioning NREGA with justified wages can work as a lifeline for rural workers. However, the unremunerative levels of NREGA wages, together with chronic shortage of work and delay in payments, are proving to be detrimental to a key objective of the NREGA which is to arrest distress migration, observed HRF members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is well-known that the widespread disruption of economic activity caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to turn to MGNREGA in rural India. This insufficient increase in wage rate, that can only be termed as meagre and insensitive, does little to enhance relief or provide respite during the ongoing economic crisis, said Mr. Chakradhar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Not paying minimum wages amounts to forced labour&amp;rsquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;VISAKHAPATNAM: &lt;/em&gt;The Human Rights Forum (HRF) and Samalochana Association expressed their disappointment over the quantum of increase in the wage rate of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The increase in wages by a meagre ₹8, from the existing ₹237 to ₹245 a day, is measly and amounts to mere eyewash. We are concerned about the gap between the minimum wages stipulated in the Minimum Wages Act and the MGNREGA wages,&amp;rdquo; said V.S. Krishna of HRF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Not paying minimum wages in public works amounts to forced labour and it is deplorable that successive governments are unwilling to abide by Constitutional principles in the matter, said B. Chakradhar of Samalochana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A well-functioning NREGA with justified wages can work as a lifeline for rural workers. However, the unremunerative levels of NREGA wages, together with chronic shortage of work and delay in payments, are proving to be detrimental to a key objective of the NREGA which is to arrest distress migration, observed HRF members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is well-known that the widespread disruption of economic activity caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to turn to MGNREGA in rural India. This insufficient increase in wage rate, that can only be termed as meagre and insensitive, does little to enhance relief or provide respite during the ongoing economic crisis, said Mr. Chakradhar.&lt;/p&gt;

Activists disappointed with MGNREGA wage revision -Sumit Bhattacharjee

-The Hindu ‘Not paying minimum wages amounts to forced labour’ VISAKHAPATNAM: The Human Rights Forum (HRF) and Samalochana Association expressed their disappointment over the quantum of increase in the wage rate of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. “The increase in wages by a meagre 8, from the existing 237 to 245 a day, is measly and amounts to mere eyewash. We are concerned about the gap between the minimum wages stipulated in the Minimum Wages Act and the MGNREGA wages,” said V.S. Krishna of HRF. Not paying minimum wages in public works amounts to forced labour and it is deplorable that successive governments are unwilling to abide by Constitutional principles in the matter, said B. Chakradhar of Samalochana. A well-functioning NREGA with justified wages can work as a lifeline for rural workers. However, the unremunerative levels of NREGA wages, together with chronic shortage of work and delay in payments, are proving to be detrimental to a key objective of the NREGA which is to arrest distress migration, observed HRF members. It is well-known that the widespread disruption of economic activity caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to turn to MGNREGA in rural India. This insufficient increase in wage rate, that can only be termed as meagre and insensitive, does little to enhance relief or provide respite during the ongoing economic crisis, said Mr. Chakradhar.
