Maharashtra Govt’s Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana Sees 14 Lakh New Beneficiaries Since Assembly Polls

Mumbai: The number of beneficiaries under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana has risen by 14 lakh since the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Women and Child Development Minister Aditi Tatkare informed the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.
According to officials, the surge in beneficiaries was due to the completion of pending application scrutiny, which had been delayed because of the model code of conduct during the elections. As a result, the total number of beneficiaries increased from 2.33 crore before the elections to 2.47 crore in February.
However, the Opposition staged a protest and walkout from the Assembly, accusing the government of delaying the promised increase in financial aid under the scheme. Opposition leaders criticised the government for failing to raise the assistance amount to Rs 2,100, as pledged.
During the question hour, NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar questioned the delay, asking, “When will you provide Rs 2,100 as promised in the manifesto?” He was joined by Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Varun Sardesai, who also pressed for clarity on the issue.
Tatkare responded that the current amount provided under the scheme is Rs 1,500 per month, and a decision regarding the increase to Rs 2,100 will be taken by the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Ministers. Additionally, she mentioned that Anganwadi workers receive Rs 50 per application they process under the scheme.
Despite the explanation, the Opposition continued its protest, alleging that the government was misleading women and failing to deliver on its promises. They also raised concerns over scrutiny of ineligible beneficiaries, questioning whether genuine applicants were being excluded.
Officials clarified that while scrutiny of ineligible applicants is ongoing, the recent increase in beneficiaries is due to the clearance of applications that had been on hold due to election-related restrictions. The government maintains that the scheme’s implementation is progressing, and any changes to financial aid will be decided at the highest level.

Abu Asim’s letter to the state chief minister and DGP, threatening Nanded Muslims not to sacrifice, demanding action against miscreants to ensure peace

In Nanded, Maharashtra, Bajrang Dal goons have threatened Muslims with weapons in the area so that Muslims do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, which is a threat to the state’s atmosphere and there is also a fear of communal violence. In such a situation, the police and administration should take strict action to maintain law and order and curb the miscreants because terrorism by Bajrang Dal goons is on the rise here.
To ensure law and order in the Degulur taluka of Dharmabad district of Nanded district of the state, state Chief Minister and Police Chief DGP have been demanded by MLA and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi to take action against sectarians and miscreants. Azmi has made a serious allegation that Bajrang Dal workers are patrolling the Dharmabad area with weapons and are threatening Muslims and trying to intimidate and spoil the atmosphere so that they do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, and Hindu extremists have warned Muslims not to sacrifice. Abu Asim Azmi has also sent a letter to the Chief Minister and DGP, demanding immediate intervention from the administration in this matter.
He has said in the letter that a local from Dharmaabad, Sheikh Lal Ahmed, has informed him about the mischief of the miscreants. He has alleged that the miscreants of Bajrang Dal are instructing not to offer sacrifices on Eid-ul-Adha and are also threatening Muslims. He said that the terrorism of Bajrang Dal and RSS should be banned and action should be taken against those who spoil the environment so that peace and security is maintained in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha. Azmi has appealed that strict police security arrangements be made in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha so that social harmony is maintained and Muslims can celebrate their festival peacefully.

Animal markets will remain open for sacrifice, Gauseva Aayog withdraws controversial order

Mumbai: The Mumbai GauSeva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial order to keep cattle markets closed from June 3 to June 8 until Eid-ul-Adha. It has only said that it should be ensured that there is no slaughter of prohibited animals during the sacrifice. After a meeting of Muslim representatives along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister had issued an order to withdraw the circular, after which the Gau Seva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial circular and order. This circular had said that animal markets in all districts of the state should be closed till June 8 to prohibit cow slaughter on Eid-ul-Adha. Muslims opposed this and during the meeting of Muslim representatives, the Chief Minister had announced the withdrawal of this order. Therefore, the GauSeva Ayog has officially withdrawn the circular and instead issued a new circular, which has lifted the ban on animal markets. Along with this, strict implementation of the cow slaughter law has also been demanded.
The state government is responsible for implementing the cow slaughter law and the police and administration are ready for it, but after the GauSeva Aayog issued such a controversial circular, Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Rais Sheikh had declared it illegal and said that the circular issued is completely illegal and controversial, while the Aayog has no authority to issue orders, it can only make recommendations. In such a situation, after the order of the Chief Minister, now animal markets will continue during the sacrifice period and there is no ban on the market of buffaloes including goats, therefore Muslims have been appealed not to pay attention to rumors.
Deonar Slaughterhouse General Manager Kaleem Pathan also said that the Deonar Goat Market will continue and the order issued by the Gau Seva Aayog has been withdrawn, so the public should not pay attention to rumors about the Deonar Goat Market. He said that along with the facilities in the Goat Market in Deonar, arrangements have been made for the convenience of buyers. Along with stalls, other facilities are also available here. He said that more than 150,000 goats have arrived in the Deonar Goat Market and along with this, more than 80,000 goats are left.
