Ensure every labourer gets work: Sanjay Rathod

YAVATMAL: Prepare action plan to provide work to all who seek employment after May 31, instructed district guardian minister Sanjay Rathod after Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) review meeting here recently.
Due to relaxation in lockdown, labourers from other parts of the state are coming to the district and they are set to demand work for their livelihood, said Rathod adding local workers are also out in search of work after two months of lockdown. All of them should be given work for which proper and effective planning is a must, he said.
Officials at panchayat samitis and talukas must arrange camps for issuing job cards to the labour force under their respective jurisdiction, he said, adding that a survey should be conducted to gather village-wise data of the labour force.
As of now, 2,571 works are in progress for which 18,308 labourers have been employed, informed deputy collector (EGS) Sangita Rathod.
