The state government has expanded the eligibility for the 250 free power units per month program to include dhobi ghats owned by Muslim community washermen. The telangana Washermen Co-operative Societies Federation Limited, the bc Welfare Department, and the Minorities Welfare Department have been ordered by the government to take the appropriate actions to extend the benefits to washermen who belong to Muslim communities. 

The directive indicated that further information regarding the plan and process would soon be made public. Barbershops, launderettes, and dhobi ghats have received up to 250 free electricity units each month from the state government. The government of telangana, on september 16, issued an order extending the scheme to provide free electricity up to 250 units to washermen and women from the Muslim community.The scheme has already been in place for washermen from backward classes (BC) since 2021 in the state.

According to a press release, telangana chief minister Chandrashekhar Rao immediately ordered the extension of the programme to Muslims for their Dhobi Ghats and Laundry Shops after hearing from hyderabad Lok Sabha mp Asaddudin Owaisi that there are groups of Muslim Dhobis who are employed in the same profession and need a benefit similar to that provided to the bc community washermen and women. As a result, the state principal secretary of the bc Welfare Department issued a memo on september 16.

Accordingly, a memo was issued on september 16, by the state principal secretary of the bc Welfare Department. “It is therefore appealed to all individuals from the Muslim community engaged in the profession to apply for this benefit for their Dhobi Ghats or Laundry shops. Details of applications, where to apply and certificates required will be intimated shortly,” the Minorities Welfare Department said.
