'UP: About 45,000 MGNREGA Workers to Reach Lucknow on Sept 1 Protesting Against Low Wages, Regularisation' -Abdul Alim Jafri

-Newsclick.in

About 45,000 contractual workers have been working under MGNREGA for the last 14 years and most of them are in a vulnerable situation due to the negligence of the government. Many workers are committing suicide due to financial constraints or due to a lack of medical care...'

Lucknow: Having not had a since increase in their honorarium over four and a half years of the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government, around 45,000 MGNREGA contractual workers from across the state will reach state the capital of Lucknow on September 1 to stage a ‘Dera Dalo, Ghera Dalo’ protest.

The workers have been demanding that the honorarium paid to contractual Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) workers include technical assistants, accountants, gram rozgar sevaks and additional program officers, and that it be increased from Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,000 a month. The other issue the workers have been demanding is the regularisation of their employment.
