Manish Rai from Ambikapur Chhattisgarh says I had reported about death of Santosh Bhoi in CGnet Swara 3 days back whose father Pitbasu Bhoi did not get any wages after working for 100 days in MGNREGA. He says I would like you to know that 3 days have passed but no government official have visited the family of Pitbasu Bhoi yet and he has not been paid any wages either. He says more than 40% laborers remain to be paid their wages in MGNREGA in Surguja district

Manish Rai from Ambikapur says some days back I had heard an interview on CGnet Swara with a labourer called Pitbasu who had completeled 100 days work in NREGA but had not been paid any wages. Today by chance I met him in the hospital and found that while Pitbasu was making rounds for his due NREGA wages his son died in the hospital. Is there any provision in NREGA to punish officials who has caused this grave incident? NREGA laws should be so strong that no one should wait for their wages as has happened with Pitbas. Fore more on the story please contact Manish at 09826538904

Manish Roy from Surguja Chhattisgarh is reporting about a lax of goveernment machinery by which hundreds of unemployed may loose out in the process. The process of job giving in Para teacher sector is finishing on 8th of January and only one list is out in Surguja whereas several lists have come out in other areas. At one side government is doing employment fairs but not ensuring proper functioning in the existing programs

Manish Rai from Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh says a 100 bed hospital was built in Balrampur, around 90 kms from here in the area of our Panchayat miniser who was earlier the home minister of the state. But so far no doctor has been sent to the hospital and the building is being used by Special force. If so much expenditure has been made to build then it must be used for people
