Jammu, January 13: - Member of Legislative Assembly from Inderwal Ghulam Mohammad Saroori during the zero hours raised the question that labourers / Job card holders in Erstwhile district Doda have not been paid their wages since long, he pressed to Government for early clearing of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) liabilities in Erstwhile Doda district.
Saroori also cornering the Rural Development Minister started as soon as he finished his reply to the question mentioning that 2nd and 3rd instalments of 23502 cases sanctioned under Indira Awas Yojana (presently named as Prime Minister Awas Yojana) during the financial year 2014-15 and 2015-16 have not been released till date.
“This is grave injustice with the poor people”, remarked Saroori, adding “how can this Government justify delay of two years in release of 2nd and 3rd instalments under IAY/PMAY scheme”.
Stating that there is complete mess in the Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, the Congress MLA and former Minister demanded that a House Committee should be constituted to review the functioning of this department, which is directly connected with the masses in rural areas. He was supported by almost all the members of the Congress and National Conference, who too started demanding House Committee.
Saroori also called upon the government to earmark sufficient funding in MGNREGA programme and further streamline its functioning.
