Maintain muster rolls

From four villages of Boath mandal complaints regarding delay in payment of labour charges to the wage seekers had come to light, Mr. Rao said. Similarly, payment was made on wrong names at Pardi (K) village in Jainad mandal, he added.

He asked field level officers to maintain muster rolls with wage seekers signing it regularly. In the flood-affected villages, the Collector asked officials to maintain sanitation to prevent spread of viral diseases.
