A few day labourers of Jagalpat village under Gaisilat block of Bargarh district have warned the district administrations for self immolation on 20th December in front of the collectorate if they won’t get their due payment of MGNREGS work.
As per the report, Maharani Sahu, Lalita Sahu, Arnnapurna Sahu, Baikuntha Sahu, Nilakar Sahu and Menegar Sahu belong to Jagalpat village of Gaisilat block under Bargarh district. They had worked in the RD road work from Jagalpat to Maharpali in 2015. But yet they have not got their due payments. They have complained to the BDO and the Sarpanch about it. But nothing happened. Finally they complained the district collector on 22.1.2016. Still nobody paid any attention to them.
Now they are saying to pay them the due amount within 7 days or else they will self immolate in front of the collectorate and the administration will be responsible for that.
