MUMBAI: The party is over for a section of women who managed to make it to the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana's list of beneficiaries despite being ineligible for it.
On Thursday, women and child development (WCD) minister, Aditi Tatkare, announced that the government will soon begin scrutiny of the list to weed out names that should not have made it to the list at all.
