AGARTALA, April 30 (TIWN): BJP led Tripura Govt headed by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha has declared to add more 4,458 new social media pension beneficiaries. Social Welfare Minister Tinku Roy on Monday announced this, inviting applications from the deserving beneficiaries.Roy said, “First priority will be given to the Antodyoy families, then BPL families and also the widows, helpless women of the society.” “Please come and submit your application in the CDPO office,” he said. On being asked, why so many social pension beneficiaries were cut of social pensions since BJP Govt came to power in 2018, in response, Tinku Roy said, “Every time whenever I have a press meet, journalists ask me the question ; so via you I want to appeal to the people, if any of you have been deprived of social pension come to the CDPO office and fix the issue.”

“Many times it was seen that one person is getting two pensions. For example, if someone is getting social pension for poverty-issue, after a while, they applied for the old-age pension and started getting both pensions at a time, which is a violation. After Adhaar linking, it was found that many people were violating the social pension norms and consequently, such pensions were cut,” he said.

“We appeal to people to come to CDPO office, and often we also organize events inviting the beneficiaries for Adhaar linking, but they do not want to come to such events as they know they will be caught,” added the Minister.

Tinku Roy informed that right now, over 3 lakhs 90,000 social pension beneficiaries are receiving social pensions.
