In a significant boost for grassroots workers, outsourcing employees engaged in rural housing construction programs under the Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water Department are poised to receive their long-pending salaries imminently.
The state government’s urgent intervention has prompted swift action from the central authorities, who have approved the release of Rs 225 crore in outstanding funds today.
This financial infusion addresses procedural delays that have left approximately 700 outsourcing staff awaiting their dues. Department officials have assured that payments will be disbursed without further delay following this development.
The move underscores the government’s commitment to supporting frontline workers in key rural development initiatives, ensuring continuity in housing schemes that benefit thousands of families across Odisha.
