Tamil Nadu's Gold Ring Scheme Faces Delivery Delays and Eligibility Issues
In Tamil Nadu, the newly launched Thaaimaman Thanga Mothiram scheme offers a one-gram gold ring to eligible newborns. In Thanjavur, a man attacked a nurse and her relatives after being told to wait for his turn to receive the ring, resulting in injuries and a police investigation. Separately, in Karaikudi, a mother was denied the ring due to her Aadhaar card showing a Mysuru address despite delivering her child locally, with officials seeking further clarification.
