High Court Orders Resumption of MNREGA Scheme in West Bengal
The Calcutta High Court told the government to restart a job program called MNREGA in West Bengal.
This program gives people work, but the government stopped funding it about three years ago because they thought there was some cheating.
The court said the program should start again, and the local leaders are happy because it helps the workers.
The people in charge of the program also want to be paid and make sure there's no cheating.
The opposing party says they don't mind the program, but want the government to stop corruption first.
Calcutta High Court ordered the resumption of the MNREGA scheme in West Bengal from August 1.
The central government had stopped MNREGA funds in March 2022, citing irregularities.
The court noted the scheme had been stalled for nearly three years.
TMC leaders welcomed the order, viewing it as relief for workers.
BJP stated they are not against the scheme but want action against corruption.
