Churachandpur, Dec 22 : In view of its perceived urgency arising out of the need to clear school fees for securing children's results before Christmas and the monetary requirement of the festival and New Year celebrations, Kuki Inpi, Manipur requested the Director, NREGA to pay the daily wages of NREGS workers in Churachandpur district through VAs and not through the banks as required by the Government.
'Apart from the Lamka Block, the other six blocks of the district do not have any post office with saving facilities, only the banks has such facilities,' wrote Holkholun Lhungdim, President KIM in his letter address to the Director.
As majority of the wage earners are poor, urgent payment of wages of the remaining 25 days would help them in clearing their children's fees for the declaration of the end term results.
The memo added that most of the villagers do not have accounts in nationalized banks, and as there is need for most villagers to travel two to three days to reach the district headquarters, the wages must be released through the Village Authorities.
