Re­cent­ly dis­missed month­ly-paid work­ers with the Un­em­ploy­ment Re­lief Pro­gramme (URP) say the re­cent batch of ter­mi­na­tions has cast un­cer­tain­ty over their fu­tures.

Sev­er­al work­ers have al­so raised con­cerns over er­rors in the date of ter­mi­na­tion and oth­er in­ac­cu­ra­cies in the dis­missal let­ters giv­en to them and have claimed that ef­forts to rec­ti­fy it on­ly lead to fur­ther bu­reau­cra­cy.

On Wednes­day Min­is­ter of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Khadi­jah Ameen con­firmed that 400 URP work­ers would be ter­mi­nat­ed as let­ters were dis­trib­uted to 12 re­gion­al of­fices.
