The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a Calcutta high court order directing the Centre to resume the MGNREGA scheme in West Bengal. The employment guarantee programme had been on hold since 2022 amid allegations of fund embezzlement. The high court issued the directive in June, which the top court has now affirmed.
