Labourers stage protest at Kalaburagi ZP office

KALABURAGI: After being denied their rightful work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), hundreds of rural labourers from different villages across Kalaburagi district staged a demonstration outside the zilla panchayat office in Kalaburagi on November 15.

Alleging denial of work by Panchayat Development Officers (PDOs) in several gram panchayats even after submitting applications and completing all the procedures as per the Act, the labourers approached zilla panchayat Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dileesh Sasi seeking action against delinquent PDOs. Some of the protesting women even complained that the PDOs simply did not accept their applications for jobs.

“Getting work under NREGA is our lawful right, and not your charity. It is your responsibility to give work to the people who seek jobs under the Act within 15 days of receiving the application and make payment within 15 days of completion of work,” said Abhay Kumar, a leader of Grameena Koolikaarmikara Sanghatane (GRAKOOS), an organisation of rural labourers, told the zilla panchayat officers at the protest site.
