Transfer of Dalit Bandhu money to follow set process
Celebrations erupted at Vasalamarri village of Turkapally mandal in the district, with the news of the government releasing its maiden order on ‘Dalit Bandhu Scheme’ proceeds for the village’s 76 Dalit families on Thursday. The residents in the Dalitwada were seen singing and dancing, pouring sugar into mouths and calling Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, “a god”. The Chief Minister, who toured his adopted village Vasalamarri on Wednesday, had declared sanction of ‘Dalit Bandhu Scheme’ for all the Dalit families in the village, and said the earlier proposal to launch the scheme at Huzurabad on August 16 would only be an official formality. He had also promised that the families would be receiving their benefit in the bank accounts from Thursday.More Related News
