Allegations of Irregularities in Beneficiary Selection at Chief Minister's Welfare Program in Pollachi

Members of the North Union Council in Pollachi raise concerns about discrepancies in the selection of beneficiaries for the Chief Minister's welfare programs.


Coimbatore: A regular meeting of the North Union Council in Pollachi, chaired by Union Council Leader Vijayarani, discussed public hardships due to damaged roads in various rural areas.



The meeting emphasized the need for road repairs. During the discussion, member Malini from Acchipatti Union Council highlighted concerns regarding the recent Chief Minister's welfare program in Coimbatore.



It was reported that none of the 11 beneficiaries selected from Acchipatti were actually residents of the area, raising questions about the selection process. The list included names from other states and Kerala, which was surprising as the officials contacted denied knowledge about the welfare programs.



This incident has raised doubts about the proper selection of beneficiaries for government welfare schemes, with a call for stricter measures to prevent such occurrences in the future.
