Goa Opposition Criticizes State Government Over Ujjwala Yojana Payout Delays
What happened
Opposition parties in Goa criticized the state government for delays in implementing the Ujjwala Yojana. Reports indicate that over two lakh eligible women have not yet received their annual financial assistance of Rs 3,000. Goa Forward Party president Vijai Sardesai noted that only around one lakh of the 3,06,396 total applicants had received the cash transfer, leaving many beneficiaries stranded nearly 45 days after the scheme launched. The Chief Minister has since set a 15-day deadline for the disbursals.
