MNREGA Workers in UP’s Jaunpur district submitted a memorandum to the district magistrate through a protest dharna on 19 July demanding strict action against local supply inspector. The local PDS dealer in Lakhanipur is not giving ration to the PDS card holder for many months while he is regularly taking thumb impressions as a mark of receipt of allotted foodgrains. When a complaint was made with the supply inspector, he too misbehaved and threatened the complainant Rambahadur Yadav.
The MNREGA Mazdoor Sabha led by AICCTU Uttar Pradesh joint-secretary Gaurav Singh held a protest at DM office to take action against erring officials and ensure PDS disbursement properly to every needy person.
