Imphal, September 18 2013:
A general meeting of all villages chiefs of Sadar Hills was held under the aegis of Sadar Hills Chiefs Association ( SAHILCA), Manipur today at Motbung C.C Hall in connection with the MGNREGS implementation and functioning.
After threadbare discussion, the village chiefs resolved that the proposal to have individual bank account for each job card holder cannot be accepted because it is not practically feasible for hill areas as it will certainly lead to delay in its implementation and subsequent failure of this flagship programme.
Also, the meeting resolved that the account operation system shall be done as it is done in the last 5 years.
It also resolved that the implementation of MGNERGS funds shall not be done through various agencies.
Rather, it should be implemented in full by the village authorityies as usual.
The deduction of money from job card holders which were duly done by SDOs/BDOs after due verification shall not be accepted by the chiefs and job card holders.
