In the run-up to the assembly elections in Maharashtra on November 20, the state government has announced new benefits for the Muslim community. Each eligible person will receive Rs 30,000 for pilgrimage to holy sites specified by the government.
This pilgrimage is part of the CM Tirth Darshan Yojana, which provides financial
assistance of Rs 30,000 per person for senior citizens aged 60 and above. To qualify, the individual’s annual family income must be below Rs 2.5 lakh.
Under this scheme, Muslims can visit several popular dargahs in and around Mumbai, including Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai, Haji Malang Dargah in Kalyan, and Diwanshah Dargah in Bhiwandi.
