They alleged that they had done MGNREGA work nine month back but they have not been paid wages till date.”Whenever we approached the BDO Bhaderwah for 100 days wages he made several excuses”, they said, adding “pick and choose policy is being adopted to release wages to the job card holders”.
Alleging rampant corruption in RDD Bhaderwah, they said, “no one is listening our genuine demand”.
