When contacted, Upendra Thakur, the husband of Mukhiya Sita Devi, denies that the men left the village because of no work under the NREG. “They go to Assam not because there is no work here but for greed of money as they get better wages there”, said Thakur. He, however, admitted that all work under the NREG was taken up only two months ago after the labourers who had been waiting for a job had left the state.

Incidentally, Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh has written a letter to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on what he has called the “unsatisfactory implementation” of the NREG. The state Government so far has also failed to finalise the list of Below Poverty Line families.
