MALDA, Feb. 27: Mrs Prabha Saha, a registered labourer for 100-days job under NREGA, today lodged a complaint with the police and the block development officer of Kaliachak II, against a Gram Panchayat pradhan regarding pay cut.
Mrs Saha alleged that the pradhan of Panchanandapur-II Mr Haripada Ghosh demanded Rs 100 out of Rs 550 for 100-days job from her husband. “When my husband, Mr Akhil Saha refused to pay this amount, the pradhan beat him up yesterday”, she said. It may be noted that Mr and Mrs Saha worked for only 14 days under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and received their money from the Panchanandapur-II gram panchayat office located at Meghutola market office on Wednesday.
Today, Mrs Saha with the support of some CPI (ML) Liberation members, lodged a complaint and submitted another representation to the BDO Kaliachak II. “Locals, backed by the Congress pradhan, today put a fence round Akhil Saha's house. Last evening some goons destroyed five trees near their home”, Mr Rajab Ali, CPI (ML) block secretary said. “We will enquire about the incident. If the pradhan is found guilty we must take action against him”, the BDO, Kaliachak II said. n SNS
