Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus highlighted misuse of the elderly allowance program, alleging that many undeserving individuals received benefits through political favoritism. “This bias must end. Allowances must be distributed based solely on NID age data,” he said during a meeting with senior officials from the Department of Social Services at Jamuna. The discussion focused on corruption, administrative weaknesses, and access challenges in the welfare system. The Chief Advisor urged the department to undertake urgent reforms, enhance transparency, and prioritize services for the elderly and girl children.
