Rajesh Bairagi is reporting from Chiraidangri village between Mandla and Jabalpur. He says government now gives NREGA payment only from the bank and the State bank officials come late in this rural branch and people need to visit many times to get their money. They also get refused payment when their account has less money. People need this money to run their daily expenses and government should make special arrangement so that they are given their payments in time
