Prakash Gupta is visiting Baikona village in Pratappur block of Surajur district in Chhattisgarh where a Gram Sabha is in progress where he meets many people who tell him one by one that they have not got their wages in NREGA from more than a year. Some have got some money and some got no money. They have visited officials who make them go rounds and some threaten them while also giving many excuses. He says apart from non payment lots of money have been taken away in fraudulent way by filling in false musterrolls which must be investigated. For more Prakash can be reached at 07697852665
