Delay in wage payments to invite action: Naveen
Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Tuesday directed the district magistrates (DMs) to ensure that not a single poor family suffers from lack of livelihood in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
Naveen was reviewing the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and urban livelihood mission in all the districts through videoconferencing with the Collectors.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented challenge before us since last March. The world economic growth has slowed down and the poor people have suffered the most. The government’s priority is to ensure employment in this difficult time for the poor,” he said.
