This is with reference to the report “ >Bachchan, Parrikar, Sachin, Ponting ‘beneficiaries’ of MNREGA in Goa ” (April 27). It was amusing as well as startling to find that the names of some illustrious sportspersons, film stars and politicians find a place in the list of beneficiaries of a scheme meant for the rural poor. Only a thorough investigation will reveal the truth.
