Ranchi, Feb 21 (UNI) A CPI(M) delegation today urged Jharkhand Deputy Chief Minister Sudhir Mahto to take action against two illegally appointed contractors in NREGA work.

They were rushed to the nearby hospital, sources from CPI(M) said.

They went on agitation demanding immediate arrest of the two appointed contractors in NREGA work at Tularam Bhushka village under Meherma Block.
