Wages amounting to 2,800 crore are pending with the Centre

Dipali Mahato was among the hundreds of workers who gathered in front of the District Magistrate’s office in Purulia on Friday, demanding wages under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

“I have not received wages amounting to 8,000. The last time I worked under a 100 days employment scheme was in January this year,” Dipali said. A mother of two daughters, the 35-year-old resident of Podlara village in Purulia I block said that her husband had migrated to Ranchi for work as there was no payment for work under the job guarantee scheme.

Hundreds of workers whose wages for MGNREGA work are pending like Dipali, hit the streets in Purulia in West Bengal under the banner of Paschim Banga Khet Majoor Samity (PBKMS). Anuradha Talwar of PBKMS said that workers have to suffer because of the tussle between the Centre and West Bengal government on the MGNREGA scheme. 

“Wages of workers amounting to 2,800 crore are pending with the Centre. The wages are directly transferred to the account of beneficiaries. In this case, work has already been completed. The workers are suffering because of non-payment of wages,” Ms. Talwar said.
