TURA, Sep 30: Job card holders under the Namabilla Village Employment Council (VEC) in West Garo Hills have lodged a formal complaint with the Additional District Programme Coordinator of MGNREGS, urging him to stop the alleged illegal reconstitution of the Programme Implementation Executive Committee.
