Community well has been constructed in Gram Panchayat Kodeva through Employment Guarantee Scheme. Under the scheme of the government, this well has been built for use in Gothan.

Not only this, apart from wages, we had also given the amount of material that was purchased from the shops for tying this well. She hasn’t even been found yet. The laborers told that till now we have not received the amount of about one lakh 65 thousand. In this regard, even after several discussions with the officials, the answer is not given properly.
laborers put money out of pocket
In this regard, the laborers told that when they approached the shopkeepers for stones, sand, cement, rods etc. for tying the well, they flatly refused to give the goods on credit, as the laborers had promised to complete this work. The contract was taken, so by collecting the amount among themselves, the material was taken from the shop in cash, in this way not only the wages of the laborers were received, but the money spent for the material is also stuck.
Have given money for material by taking loan
The workers engaged in the construction of the well told that they have given money by taking loans to get the goods in the shops. He said that there was repeated pressure by the officials to work as soon as possible and no shopkeeper was ready to lend, so he was forced to buy goods by taking loans. Now they are in trouble due to not getting the money. The same people from whom they have taken loans are still doing it.
