The government is committed to preventing any injustice towards the "Aswesuma" beneficiaries, the President's Media Division said today (25), urging all Aswesuma applicants to reach out to the Divisional Secretaries during the appeal period until July 10.
"The Government assures that any shortcomings in the process of selecting the relevant candidates will be rectified immediately and plans are being made to discuss this with the district secretaries, divisional secretaries, and other parties involved in the program in the coming week.
Accordingly, these payments will be distributed among four social categories, namely transitional, vulnerable, poor, and extremely poor. Additionally, the usual allowances for the differently-abled, elderly, and kidney patients will also be provided," the statement by PMD added.
Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, as the Provincial Councils and Local Government Minister, announced today that the time period given to those who have been wronged in the selection of the beneficiaries of the ‘Aswesuma’ welfare benefit payment program to hand over appeals and objections has been extended until July 10, as some parties have alleged that there have been shortcomings in the process.
