Monthly assistance scheme:Congress seeks revocation of re-verification order of elderly, disabled

Srinagar, Nov 30. Former Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Ghulam Ahmad Mir Wednesday sought revocation of order regarding re-verification of monthly assistance of old-aged widows, disabled persons.
Mir urged that the discrepancies or any kind of financial indiscipline found in the scheme can be probed without troubling the genuine beneficiaries.
Former JKPCC President Ghulam Ahmad Mir said old-aged, widows and disabled persons have been asked to resubmit their documents by making the rules more complex. He urged the administration to re-consider the order.
Mir said registered beneficiaries have already fulfilled the requisite formalities with regard to their monthly assistance, there was no need to re-verify them, the discrepancies ‘if any’ relating to it can be probed, but the genuine beneficiaries should not suffer on this count.
“I would urge the LG administration to address the hardships confronting beneficiaries due to the fresh re-verification process by revoking the order.”
