3/13/2011 10:02:52 PM

EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Mar 13:In protest against alleged improper implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and faulty survey of Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, a one-day token protest was organised today by Pradesh Youth Congress (PYC) at Kalakote.
The protest demonstration was held under the leadership of senior Vice President PYC, R S Pathania.
People of the area alleged that institution of Gram Sabha has been put into a limbo over here with political masters ruling the roost.
Neither the MGNREGA plans nor the BPL, IAY and SGRY enlistments are being carried out in Gram Sabhas. Even the job cards and labour payments against the works done are affected on political considerations. Individual cases were pin-pointed by people where payments had not been made good even after the expiry of one year since the execution of respective works by labourers. Senior Congress leader of the area and former MLA, Ashok Sharma also addressed the protesting Youth Congress activists and called for a peoples’ movement against the worst-ever reign of corruption and lawlessness in the area.
While concluding the protest late in the evening, R S Pathania charged that implementation of MGNREGA in the area has been totally half-hearted, slip-shod and fraught with irregularities, corruption and monitored by political masters. He dwelled, in detail, and educated the people about the various statutory provisions of MGREGA, its poor implementation in J & K and the hardships faced by rural people.
