Supreme Court Sidelines Centre's Plea, Upholds MGNREGA Resumption in Bengal

Supreme Court Sidelines Centre's Plea, Upholds MGNREGA Resumption in Bengal

A government program that gives jobs to people in rural areas in West Bengal had stopped because the main government said there was corruption.

The local court said the program must restart to help the people.

The main government didn't want to restart it and asked a higher court, but the higher court agreed with the local court.

So, the job program will start again.

Many people who worked for this program lost their jobs and had to leave their homes to find work elsewhere.

The leader of West Bengal announced a new plan to help these workers if they come back home.

The courts are saying that even if there are questions about corruption, people should still be able to get jobs.
