Gwalior, December 29: A major corruption issue has emerged in Madhya Pradesh’s ambitious ‘Ladli Behna Yojana’. Hundreds of women in Bhind district have not received their monthly installments for two months, leaving them distressed and forced to visit government offices repeatedly.

According to NavbharatTimes, several women, including Anganwadi worker Kanchan Devi from Sarsai, and Santoshi Devi from Foop Ward 8, reported that they have not received the funds despite applying to the Women and Child Development Department and their respective banks.  Ladli Behna Yojana 19th Installment To Be Deposited in Women's Bank Accounts on December 10?
