VECs under Gasuapara call for release of pending wages
TURA, Nov 4: Job card holders from different Village Employment Councils (VECs) under Gasuapara Block in South Garo Hills, along with the presidents and secretaries, have appealed for the release of the pending MGNREGA wages as early as possible. In their appeal sent to Mission Director of the State Rural Employment Society in Shillong, SC Sadhu, the complainants expressed disappointment over the delay in the release of their wages under MGNREGA. “We have completed all our assigned tasks within the stipulated timeframe and have duly submitted all necessary documentation to support our work. We have linked Aadhaar as directed by the government and also submitted death certificates for those deceased individuals who could not link their Aadhaar Card. Despite this, we have not received our 70+ days wage payment for the past 14 months. This delay puts us in a difficult situation, as we rely on this income to support our family and meet our basic needs,” they said in their appeal. The complainants have urged the official to look into the reasons for the delay and ensure the immediate release of the pending wages, while, at the same time, requesting that steps are taken to ensure that such delays do not take place in the future.
