SC Upholds MGNREGA Resumption in West Bengal
The Supreme Court agreed with the Calcutta High Court.
This means the MGNREGA job program will restart in West Bengal on August 1, 2025.
This program helps people in rural areas find work.
The Centre had challenged this decision.
The Supreme Court decided against the Centre.
The government can still look into any problems with the program.
The plan is to get the program going again because it had been paused.
This will make sure people can get their jobs and wages.
Supreme Court dismissed the Centre’s plea.
The plea challenged Calcutta High Court's order on MGNREGA.
Calcutta HC directed MGNREGA's resumption in West Bengal from August 1, 2025.
Implementation of MGNREGA was halted in West Bengal.
TMC hailed the verdict as a victory for the people of Bengal.
