Maharashtra Faces Backlash Over Welfare Scheme Fund Misuse

Maharashtra Faces Backlash Over Welfare Scheme Fund Misuse

The Maharashtra government accidentally gave away a lot of money, about ₹162 crore, meant for a women's financial aid program.

Many people who weren't supposed to get the money, including some men, received payments.

This happened because the government didn't check properly who was eligible.

Now, they are trying to get the money back and might take legal action against those who shouldn't have received it.

People are upset, and want the government to make sure this doesn't happen again.
