Hyderabad: The Congress party on Wednesday demanded extension in the last date for submission of applications under the ‘Driver Empowerment Programme’ of Telangana State Minorities Finance Corporation (TSMFC).
Led by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Minorities Dept Chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail, a delegation comprising of TPCC Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, Hyderabad Congress Minorities Dept Chairman Sameer Waliullah and others, met TSMFC Chairman Syed Akbar Hussain at Haj House and submitted a representation.
The TSMFC had invited applications from eligible minority drivers for availing financial assistance for the purchase of Maruthi Swift Dzire Tour-S vehicle under the ‘Driver Empowerment Programme and the last date for submission of applications is November 15. However, Abdullah Sohail said hundreds of applicants were unable to organize Income Certificates and other essential documents from the MRO offices due to many holidays and also the flash strike by the revenue department in the last week.
Therefore, Abdullah Sohail requested the TSMFC Chairman to extend the last date for submission of applications so as to enable deserving jobless youth from applying for the scheme. Akbar Hussain assured us to look into the demand.
