SILCHAR, Jan 13: The poor, helpless and downtrodden job card holders of Krishnapur Bhairavnagar under Salchapra block of Cachar have, in a written complaint to the deputy commissioner of Cachar, today alleged that they have been engaged for earth cutting works under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) by gaon panchayat of the area. In all 40 of them have been doing the work.
But, the husband of AP member of this GP Hifzur Rahman, a high school teacher Abidur Rahman and group members taking advantage of their ignorance and illiteracy deducted the amount ranging from Rs 20 to 25 from their job card dues. Besides, they have to put 10 to 12 signatures on different papers, the contents of which are not known to them.
After obtaining signatures, they have been provided some amount against their actual dues. They have also complained that their job cards and account books have been retained by the identified persons and their associates. On their insistence to return their cards and books and to clear their legitimate amount, they have been threatened with dire consequences.
These unfortunate job card holders, in sheer despair, met the MLA of the area Dr Rumi Nath and sought her intervention. On December 29 last, the MLA accompanied by GP secretary went for on the spot inspection of works in question done by the job holders and expressed her dissatisfaction at the methods adopted by the AP members in order to deprive the poor and needy people. The GP secretary assured before the MLA that the remaining amount of card holders would be paid in a day or two.
But nothing has been done till date in this regard. The card holder at the same time pointed out that group members Abdul Halim Laskar, Intazur Rahman and Arif Uddin Barbhuiya have not only deprived them of their allotted works but also used their goons and goondas to silence their voice. The petition signed by 43 card holders have demanded the deputy commissioner for a thorough investigation into the matter and restore their job cards, account books and due money. source: sentinel assam
