Seeking payment of pending wages under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and condemning the apathy of both the State and Central governments, a delegation of All India Krishik Khet Mazdoor Sanghatan (AIKKMS) submitted a memorandum to the authorities in Dharwad on Tuesday.
Leading the delegation, district president of AIKKMS Deepa Dharwad, vice-president Hanumeshh Huded and others submitted the memorandum to the officials of the district administration seeking immediate steps for the release of pending wages.
The delegation members told the authorities that the farmers of Dharwad taluk are reeling under drought and as their wages have been held up, they are finding it hard to eke out a living.
