No Official Announcement Yet
Despite the growing crowds, post office officials stated that there has been no official communication from the government regarding the transfer of Mahalaxmi scheme funds. “We haven’t received any notification. People are coming on their own after hearing this through word of mouth,” said one official.
Awareness and Clarification Needed
Post office staff continue to open accounts for those who request them, saying these accounts are useful regardless of government schemes. However, the lack of official clarity has caused unnecessary distress and long wait times for women across the district. Citizens are urging the government to issue a clear statement to avoid further confusion.
