Cooperative society staff protest seeking review of 'Thayumanavar' scheme
Cooperative bank staff held protests in Salem and Namakkal demanding a review of the 'Thayumanavar' scheme due to technical issues in biometric processing.
The Tamil Nadu State Primary Cooperative Bank All Employees Union organized protests in Salem and Namakkal yesterday. Their primary demand was for a review of the 'Thayumanavar' scheme being implemented through ration shops.
The workers highlighted issues such as technical glitches in biometric and iris scanning, which hinder elderly and differently-abled beneficiaries from receiving aid. They urged the government to fix these issues, include all eligible beneficiaries from the same family, and provide better working facilities for the staff involved in the scheme.
