Near stampede at Haj House as loan hopefuls swell
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: A near-stampede-like situation was witnessed at the Haj House in Nampally as the deadline for the TS Minority Finance Corporation's bank-linked subsidy scheme neared. Following the state government's recent Rs 120 crore grant to the corporation, the number of applications had surpassed 1.5 lakh by Tuesday, however only 5,000 applicants will be eligible for the subsidy plan of Rs 1 lakh with 80 per cent waiver and Rs 2 lakh with 70 per cent waiver. GHMC employee, who went to the Haj House to help a friend, requesting anonymity blamed the authorities for their complete failure to assess the situation, despite knowing that a large number of applicants would arrive. Rubeena Khatoon of Mallepalli claimed that the administration at the Haj House even refused to issue acknowledgement receipts while receiving applications.
