          May 23 (UNB) – Some 1,575 distressed women in Senbagh and Begumganj
          upazilas are not getting their monthly government allowance despite
          necessary instruction by the authorities. 
           
          
           
          Officials
          said the women were supposed to receive the government allowance from
          September 1999.  
           
          
           
          Two
          lists of the women from the two upazials along with their bank
          accounts were sent to Social Welfare office. But they have not yet
          received any allowance for reasons unknown.
