Guwahati: More than 100 women protested at the Khowang Sub-District Office in Assam\u2019s Dibrugarh district, alleging that their names were removed from the state government\u2019s Orunodoi welfare scheme for political reasons.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the protesters from several panchayats alleged that genuine beneficiaries, including poor, widowed and specially-abled women, were excluded from the list after supporting Assam Jatiya Parishad president Lurinjyoti Gogoi in the Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

The women alleged that local BJP leaders and the area MLA were behind the removals, while financially well-off families, including those of government employees, continued receiving benefits.<\/p>\n

The protesters demanded an immediate inquiry and restoration of benefits to all eligible beneficiaries. They warned of a larger democratic movement if their grievances were not addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
