Piped drinking water is coming to this village but not to adivasi homes!
My name is Mukesh Kumar. I am calling from Jaba block of Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. On 15th day of our cycle yatra we have reached a village called Raghunathpur. Here Govt is bringing piped drinking water to people’s houses but the water is not being brought to adivasi houses. The local adivasis tell that they have no option but to look for laborer work all around the whole day. This is the situation after so many years of independence.

I exposed NREGA corruption through RTI, they burnt my house
Mukesh Kanwar from village Butiya in Tahsil Saraipali in Chhattisgarh says I had filed Right to Information which had exposed corruption in NREGA which I had reported on CGnet Swara. We had also complained to authorities. Since then the Sarpanch has been bothering us in various ways and last night they have burnt part of my house. I have complained to police but Sarpanch is still instigating people to harass us. Have I done any wrong by exposing corruption? Is there no law in this country?

NREGA: Money withdrawn from bank with false attendance
My name is Mukesh Kanwar, I am from Saraipali block of Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh. The bank officials took away passbooks of my parents on pretext of changing the number last year. When I requested my parents to get that back we found that some money has been withdrawn from the account though we never went to bank in all these days. After filing a RTI now I have found that false attendance have been made in the name of my parents in NREGA and money has been withdrawn. I request the authorities to look into the case.
