A large number of people who are awaiting payments of the works done and executed by the RDD need to be cleared their due payments.

Several MLAs/MLCs issued instructions under convergence schemes to execute the works and inaugurated and put their name plates without getting the MGNREGA payments cleared.
Why should those who supplied material to the department or who worked as laborers’ suffer for such a long time.

He also sought immediate disbursement of funds committed during back to village exercise to the respects panchayats directly, without any delay. The funds should be transferred to the respective panchayats directly to carry out commitments under their Sarpanchs/Panchs without any hassles, he demanded.
