The government of Andhra Pradesh, under the leadership of the NDA camp, is addressing pressing issues left by the previous administration, including the growing loan app culture. These loan apps are increasingly becoming a threat to the public, with many individuals falling victim to their deceptive practices.

In a significant statement in the Assembly, Home Minister Anitha spoke out about the severe consequences of loan apps, which initially attract users by offering easy loans with minimal documentation. However, once loans are approved, these apps subject borrowers to intense harassment and illegal tactics. The abuse is reportedly so severe that it has led to several suicides among the victims.

Anitha emphasized that the government is committed to cracking down on such loan apps and ensuring that they comply with proper documentation and approval procedures. Loan apps operating without these protocols will face stern legal actions. She acknowledged the devastating impact these apps have on the lives of ordinary people, as they struggle to repay loans, only to face further pressure when the apps begin contacting their friends and family.

This crackdown is a crucial step toward eradicating a dangerous trend that has caused significant harm to many families. If successful, the government's intervention could save thousands of people from falling into financial distress, ensuring better protection for the public against exploitative lending practices.
