In spite of having been crippled by a lack of funds to his department, forest range officer Anil Kumar Singh had been paying labourers out of his own pocket.

New Delhi: Nearly 250 labourers who worked in a range of the Pakur Forest Division in Jharkhand have filed a public interest litigation in the Jharkhand high court, hoping to be paid wages due for the past nine months, Indian Express has reported.

With the court yet to issue any notices in this regard and with repeated pleas to authorities falling on deaf ears, on Tuesday, the labourers demonstrated outside the Pakur Division Forest Office. The labourers are owed nearly Rs 10 lakh in total, and the time for which they are owed this amounts coincides almost entirely with the nationwide lockdown which strained living and financial conditions of most workers across the country.

Pakur district is populated largely by rural Paharia and Santhal people and sees some stone mining.

Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Head of Forest Force (Jharkhand) P.K. Verma refused to comment on the issue to Express, citing the fact that he did not have records.
