Pensioners across the region have been advised to collect sarees and dhotis that were allocated to them under a government welfare programme, with authorities setting November 7 as the final collection date.
The distribution scheme, aimed at supporting elderly citizens, makes traditional Indian garments available to registered pensioners. Officials have warned that any garments not claimed by the stipulated deadline may not be available for later collection.
Pensioners are required to visit designated distribution centres during working hours to claim their allocated items. Authorities have requested beneficiaries to bring necessary identification documents and proof of pensioner status to expedite the collection process.
The initiative reflects efforts by welfare departments to provide material assistance to senior citizens during the approaching winter season. Officials emphasised the importance of timely collection to ensure smooth administration of the scheme and prevent wastage of resources allocated for vulnerable populations.
