Filed complaints in August and the villagers received money for about half of the days. Rs. 80,000 (from the 4th pay order of this work) was stuck in Pondur post office, as it looked for a bribe from Siripuram post office, which the Siripuram people refused to give. After complaining to the Collector, this money was also released. About 7 days of money for the 500 families is yet to be released for this work.
