JANGAON, OCT.27 : Eleven elderly and disabled beneficiaries from Rangaraikonda village in Station Ghanpur mandal are enduring severe hardships each month to collect their government Asara pensions. Due to an administrative anomaly where their names are incorrectly registered in Tadikonda village, these vulnerable residents are forced to travel 23 kilometers by auto-rickshaw every month to claim their financial assistance.
Afflicted by advanced age and severe knee joint pain, the affected individuals including Manda Venkata Narsayya, Manda Sammakka, Eragoni Uppalayya, and Botla Yellamma stated that they spend around ₹200 on transport every month. Despite repeatedly bringing their plight to the attention of local authorities, no corrective action has been taken thus far.
The distressed villagers have urgently appealed to the District Collector and concerned officials to intervene and transfer their pension records back to their native village, enabling them to collect their stipends locally without physical strain or unnecessary financial expenditure.
