Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara directed officials to create local employment under the VB-G RAM G scheme so that rural residents and communities like the Lambani in Talebasapura Tanda are not forced to leave their villages. He also instructed officials to guarantee timely wage payments, secure adequate drinking water supplies, and arrange for livestock fodder and fodder banks.
After learning that workers at the Talebasapura Tanda site had not been paid for three to four weeks or nearly a month, Parameshwara strongly reprimanded the responsible officials. He ordered them to immediately examine the causes for the delay, clear all pending wage dues without delay, and ensure continuous monitoring of payments so the scheme's purpose is not defeated.
Parameshwara reviewed the delivery of benefits under both schemes, directing officials to verify details and resolve any technical or documentation issues for women who have not yet received their Rs 2,000 Gruha Lakshmi financial assistance. He noted that delays were partially caused by record corrections like removing deceased beneficiaries and duplicate entries, and confirmed that rice distribution under the Anna Bhagya scheme will ensure eligible beneficiaries are not deprived.
