CM writes to Centre, demands upscaling of Wage for MGNREGA
Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister on Friday batted for increase in wage rate notified under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in the state to Rs 381.06 , at par with rate notified by Punjab for unskilled Agriculture worker.
In a letter to Union Rural Development and Panchayti Raj Minister Giriraj Singh, the Chief Minister sought upward revision in the rates notified for labour under the scheme as the existing rates were too minuscule.
