Jammu, Nov 27: Acute dearth of staff in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) wing of Rural Development Department has impeded its working but the department concerned has not taken any concrete step to fulfill the posts in the last more than one year.
Sources in RDD informed Early Times that out of total 5604 posts in MGNREGA a total of 2369 posts have been vacant for last more than one year but interestingly the RDD was not working on any proposal to fulfill the posts and provide chance to some educated youngster from the large army of educated unemployed youth.
As per details there are a total of 5604 posts under MGNREGA out of which only 3235 have been filled while 2369 posts are vacant.
In Jammu division out of 1964 sanctioned posts of Gram RozgarSahayak (GRS) only 1044 posts have been filled while 920 remaining posts are vacant. Out of 393 sanctioned posts of Technical Assistants only 328 posts have been filled with 65 posts remaining vacant.
