Govt. extends deadline for submitting appeals over cancellation of Aswesuma welfare benefits till Nov. 15

The government has extended the deadline for submitting appeals and objections regarding the cancellation of Aswesuma welfare benefits until November 15, the official announcement revealed. The extension comes after receiving numerous requests from the public via Divisional Secretariat offices. Originally, the deadline was set for November 11, but the government decided to grant an additional four days to process submissions.

Applicants can still submit their appeals and objections through the relevant Divisional Secretariat offices up until November 11. However, submissions made from November 12 to November 15 must be submitted exclusively through the online system. As of now, a total of 105,233 appeals have been submitted by Aswesuma applicants, while 1,220 objections have been filed by applicants against one another. Furthermore, 173 objections have been submitted by Divisional Secretaries, and 5,426 public objections have been recorded.

Additionally, 2,981 applications have been entered into the system by Divisional Secretariat offices. The government advised the public to reach out to the 1924 hotline for any further information or assistance needed throughout the process.
