SHILLONG, Aug 10: The state government has released 50 per cent of the fund for material components under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), C&RD Minister AT Mondal said on Thursday. Maintaining that the fund is released for the works already executed, Mondal said the delay in releasing the funds for material components was due to the delay in clearance from the central government. “The share between the Centre and State is 75% and 25%. So unless the Centre releases the fund, it is very difficult for us to just release 25% and keep people happy,” he added. Mondal also said that the state government will also insist that the remaining 50% of the funds pending for 2022 be released at the earliest.
