Beneficiaries to get amounts in their bank accounts soon

Nagarkurnool: With the State government dissolving the Assembly for early elections, the Election Commission of India imposed its code of conduct on each and every scheme being implemented in Telangana, so does it has impacted the Shaadi Mubarak and Kalyana Laxmi schemes, where in thousands of applications have been pending in Nagarkurnool district.

The main reason for large number of pending applications of the wedding schemes is that earlier the officials used to give cheques against the names of the beneficiaries and these cheques were handed over to the beneficiaries by the leaders of the respective constituencies.

But as the EC directions, the government has now agreed to credit the amount directly into the accounts of the beneficiaries. We will clear all dues in a week’s time and clear all pending files,” informed Hanuman Naik, Revenue Division Officer (RDO) of Nagarkurnool district.
