Muharram Grant Delayed: Shia Leaders Urge Telangana Government
The Shia community is waiting for money from the government to fix up their prayer halls, called ashoorkhanas, before Muharram starts.
The government promised to give the money on time, but it hasn't arrived yet.
This money helps pay for things like paint, flowers, and small repairs.
Last year, many ashoorkhanas got this money, and this year, even more were supposed to get it.
People in the community are asking the government to send the money soon so they can get everything ready in time.
Shia community leaders report delay in Muharram grant release.
The grant is for ashoorkhana repairs and painting.
BC welfare minister assured timely fund release on June 10.
Last year, 705 ashoorkhanas received the grant; wider coverage promised.
