Give us jobs again under MGNREGS, say labourers
The Hindu
A group of frail-looking labourers, who were once engaged under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and rendered jobless now, submitted a petition to Collector V. Vishnu on Monday seeking regular hiring under the scheme.
The petitioners from Vadakku Salaipudur, Ramakrishnapuram, Pallivasal and Seevalaperi said they were once hired under the MGNREGS for work by the village panchayats but for the past six months they have left jobless. As their livelihood has been wiped-out, most of them were starving and many were unable to have one good meal a day.
