The chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will inaugurate the programme of providing monthly monetary aid of Rs 2,000 to eligible drivers, conductors and cleaners working in public transportation on Sunday.
The Transport department has selected over 32,000 eligible beneficiaries out of a total of 39,427 applicants under this programme whose livelihood was affected due to the Covid curfew this year except for the workers of Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC). Each beneficiary will receive Rs 2,000 from the chief minister relief fund for the next six months.
The deputy transport commissioner Sanat Kumar Singh informed that the department had already issued checks to all district magistrates for an amount of over Rs 23 crore payable to the eligible beneficiaries earlier this month. He said that the payments will be issued after the CM will inaugurate the programme by making the first direct bank transfer to the beneficiaries account.
