Machinery doing MGNREGS work, job card holders sit idle Post News Network Khajuripada/Balaskumpa: During the troubled times of Covid-19, difficulties of rural people and migrants have compounded with repeated shutdowns and lockdown. In view of this situation, both the Central and the state governments have laid much importance to effective implementation of the MGNREGS projects in rural areas to ensure scope of manual labour for people. But at many places of Khajuripada block in Kandhamal district, machines are allegedly being used in MGNREGS projects while job card holders are sitting idle. Sadly, the concern of the government has allegedly been thrown to the winds during execution of projects in Pirikudi panchayat. It was alleged that the officials responsible for this are doing little to ensure proper execution of the projects.
