Lucknow, 28

Oct (HS): The double-engine government is continuously working to extend the

benefits of government schemes to the underprivileged sections of society. In

this regard, representatives of the nomadic snake charmer community met with

Minister of State (Independent Charge) Aseem Arun at Bhagidari Bhavan in Gomti

Nagar on Tuesday and apprised him of their various basic problems.

Representatives

of the snake charmer community raised the issue of lack of facilities like

electricity, water, toilets, pension, place for cremation and demanded that

families who do not have agricultural land should be provided lease under

government schemes. Minister of State Aseem Arun assured the community

representatives that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is sensitive towards the

upliftment of the community. Work will be done in a planned manner to solve

their problems. Under the 'Nomadic Development Mission', communities will be

identified and Aadhar, caste and income certificates will be made so that they

can avail the benefits of the schemes.

The program's

progress will be monitored regularly. Those who do not have land will be

assessed and appropriate action will be taken to ensure they receive their

rights. Present on this occasion were Surajnath, Rajkumar, Hindalnath,

Rajendranath, and several members of the nomadic community.
