KOLKATA: West Bengal Leader Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday wrote to High Minister Narendra Modi, in quest of his intervention to liberate finances for MGNREGA and PM Awas Yojana (PMAY).

Within the letter, Banerjee mentioned her govt used to be not able to make salary bills for over 4 months now on account of the unavailability of finances.

“It is rather astonishing that the Govt of India isn’t liberating finances to West Bengal for MGNREGA and PM Awas Yojana,” she mentioned.

“In Bengal, salary fee is pending for greater than 4 months as Govt of India isn’t liberating finances to the state to the song of just about Rs 6,500 crore — Rs 3,000 crore in opposition to salary liabilities and Rs 3,500 crore in opposition to non-wage liabilities,” she mentioned.

She discussed that West Bengal holds the highest rank in imposing PM Awas Yojana, and because 2016-17, greater than 32 lakh homes had been built.

“Taking into consideration the importance of the initiatives and the hardships being confronted via the average folks, I’d request you in your fast intervention and route to the involved Ministry to liberate the finances with out additional lengthen (sic),” she wrote.
