Issue crops up after wage payments were split last year by Union Government
In yet another issue that has cropped up after the Union Government changed the wage payment method under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) last year, the wages for Scheduled Caste workers under the scheme have been delayed for the past two months in the State.
Although a similar issue had cropped up after the wage payments were split last year into three categories for SCs, STs, and others, and was later addressed, it has recurred causing difficulties for SC workers in most districts.
