MGNREGA works stalled in Bijnor for 2 months -Harveer Dabas

-The Times of India

BIJNOR: Work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) has been stalled in Bijnor district for the past two months. This is being attributed to the panchayat polls which were underway in the district. Sources said it would take another month before work can commence again as data regarding village panchayats is yet to be fed into the system. This has led to a financial crisis for nearly 1.78 lakh low-wage workers in the district who are dependent on the scheme to earn their livelihood.

Under the MGNREGA scheme, labourers are hired for setting up of ponds, repairing roads, maintenance work, planting of trees and plants etc.

Work was affected as several former pradhans stopped MGNREGA projects in the wake of the elections. Problems in the data feeding process have also stalled work. It is learnt that there are 959 village panchayats in the district but the number has increased to 1,128 this year. It is learnt that work will commence in the 169 new panchayats after their data is fed into the system.
