Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann released the second instalment of the Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna, transferring Rs 1,262.54 crore to 36.87 lakh women for October to December. The scheme provides Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,500 per eligible woman, with no household limit, aiming to reach one crore women. Mann highlighted the scheme's role in promoting women's financial independence and contrasted it with opposition parties, warning they might discontinue such welfare benefits if elected. The government credited Satkar Sakhis and Anganwadi workers for facilitating registrations.
