107 roads halted due to MNREGA in Basti

107 roads are mired in the sport of MGNREGA in Basti, Uttar Pradesh. As the fiscal year is to pass, the possibilities of construction of these roads are not visible. 52 roads of 31 selected villages in the overall village development yojana have to be constructed. The total length of these roads is fifty kilometers.
The total cost of construction is Rs 25.48 crore. Government has issued the first tranche of Rs.3.8 crore, but construction of these roads has not yet begun. Soil work in road construction has to be done by MGNREGA. Construction of 42 roads in villages with a population of five hundred also has the same game. Because of lack of funding from the soil work under NREGA by holding wages the construction work has not yet begun. Construction of 13 roads of 15 km has been approved under the Business Development Fund. The total cost of construction is Rs.7 crore. Rs 3.45 crore has been already paid to the responsible institute to start work in January.
