AGARTALA, April 6 (TIWN): As expected, amidst roars of protests against the Central Govt by Tripura's ruling party, alleging MGNREGA fund slashing, Tripura Govt has again failed to clear MGNREGA labours wages after 4th notice of Centre and after the order from the Supreme Court. Reportedly, Principal Secretary GSG Ayyangar was given left and right via video conference held on March-28 by the Central RD Dept official. Later, in a notice on Wednesday was published in MGNREGA website and letters also sent to the RD Principal Secretaries of some states which failed to clear the unpaid wages of the labours evenafter SC's orders. In the letter sent by Govt of India, under File No; 1815/ 9/ 2016-MGNREGA-IV was directly subjected to "Payment of Compensation of delayed payment of wages to the workers and issue of delay compensation rule/ advisory by the State Govt-Reg".

However, since last 2 years the direct beneficiary has although solved the problems of the workers but the unpaid amounts of earlier years before beneficiary system was launched are yet to be paid to the workers. But such issues would never raise by Tripura Ministers, whether thanks goes to Modi Govt's initiative for transparency of data releasing that has eased the way of exposing corruptions.

Before that in May-2016, June-2016, July-11, 2016 and 24th March-2017 in total 4 times Centre had sent notice to Tripura Govt and this notice has been given as final notice without extending the time anymore. However, along with Tripura there are some other states who received the final notice but Tripura was also given notice for incomplete MGNREGA works.

The notice clearly wrote, "As per Section-23, sub-section-3 and the process laid in Section 33, Sub-Section-2 of the MGNREGA state govt may frame rules of payment of compensation. In absence of the rule the state govt till time, the rule is frames, may issue advisory/ executive instruction, to the functionaries for payment of the compensation of delay  in wage payment".
