MGNREGA workers plan nationwide May 15 strike over MGNREGA repeal

AIKS cites budget cuts, delayed payments

AIKS says recent budget cuts, delayed payments, and new tech requirements (like facial recognition for attendance) have made things tougher for rural workers.
They're asking for more job days, higher wages tied to inflation, and better local control over projects.
Calling MGNREGA a "lifeline" for rural communities, they've called for the government to reconsider.
