Ladki Bahin Yojana: Shock to Sisters Before Raksha Bandhan! Major Irregularities Uncovered, Government Takes Strict Action

The Maharashtra government has started the 'Majhi Ladki Bahin' scheme for women's empowerment, which has become embroiled in controversy on several issues. It was initiated with the aim of providing financial assistance to women from families with an annual income of less than two and a half lakh. The state government was depositing 1500 rupees monthly into the accounts of these women. Now, sources have revealed that the state government is preparing to take strict action in light of the irregularities in the scheme. As a result, some women benefiting from this scheme may face a significant setback during the Raksha Bandhan festival.

A few days ago, a shocking incident came to light where men were taking advantage of this scheme. In the backdrop of this malpractice, the government is now preparing to take strict measures. According to sources, in the next 15 days, district collectors have been asked to provide verified information of all beneficiaries. Those women or others who are found to have taken benefits despite being ineligible will have the entire amount recovered from them, and there is a possibility of criminal charges being filed.

The state government is taking this matter very seriously, and efforts will be made to make the system more transparent to prevent such fraud in the future.
