Women protest road closure because of slow Aadhaar linking process.

A group of women in Bhograi were left feeling frustrated and upset when their attempts to receive tokens for the Subhadra Yojana, a government scheme that provides financial assistance to women, were unsuccessful. The tokens were necessary in order to link their phone numbers with their Aadhaar cards, a requirement for applying to the scheme. According to sources, only 50 tokens were being issued per day by the post officials, causing a stir among the hundreds of women waiting in line.

Feeling that their voices were not being heard, the women took to the streets and staged a road blockade on State Highway-57, directly across from the Dehurda post office on Thursday. Their demand was simple: they wanted a resolution to their problem. The situation caught the attention of Bhograi tehsildar, Himanshu Sekhar Giri, who arrived at the scene to assess the situation. After listening to the concerns of the women, Giri suggested that they visit one of the 33 common service centres, known as 'Mo Seva Kendras' and 'Jan Seva Kendras', in the block to correct their Aadhaar cards.

In order to ensure that the women's needs were met, the tehsildar warned that the licenses of any common service centres found to be closed or charging applicants for the Subhadra Yojana would be revoked. The scheme was designed to uplift the economic and social status of women by providing them with necessary resources and financial assistance. However, there were certain eligibility criteria that needed to be met, such as being between the ages of 21 and 60 and not being an income tax returnee or employed in government service.

News of the tehsildar's actions sparked excitement and hope among the women of the block. Thousands of them were spotted queuing outside banks and post offices from Wednesday evening until Thursday, eager to link their phone numbers with their Aadhaar cards and take advantage of the Subhadra Yojana. It was heartening to see the women coming together to support each other and strive for a better future.
