Tendu leaf collectors should pay cash instead of online – Taruna Sabe
Chhattisgarh. Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader, National Council Member and Bastar Lok Sabha Constituency Secretary, Taruna Sabe issued a press release demanding cash payment to tendu leaf collectors in Chhattisgarh state.
Accusing the state government, he has said that for the last four years, the state government has not even given bonus to Tendumpatta beneficiaries. The government has demanded payment of bonus to the beneficiaries at the earliest.
It may be noted that in Bastar division, a daily living is earned by plucking the leaves of tendu, which is called green gold, and selling it.

Taruna said that procurement work has been completed in all the districts of Bastar division. Villagers collecting tendupatta say there is a problem with online payment. Many villagers do not have bank accounts, so many accounts have been closed. There are thousands of beneficiaries in inaccessible areas, till they are not provided banking facility by the government. In such a situation, they go miles away to avail bank facilities. After talking to the villagers in this way, the villagers have asked to pay in cash. Because the villagers living in the hinterland villages of Bastar division work to collect leaves. The bank is established at a distance of 50 to 60 km. People face hardship due to commuting and continuous queues.

The old Jandhan account of most of the villagers has also been closed. In such a situation, when money is deposited in their account, there is nothing to do but to visit unnecessary banks and the villagers feel cheated about their money, so seeing the problem of the villagers, the Aam Aadmi Party demands cash payment. This time online. Also, the party demands that the department should reopen the closed accounts as soon as possible and arrangements should be made to open the accounts of the villagers whose accounts have not been opened. Online.
