The Hindu
COVID-19 relief of ₹1,000 per family would be given to 96 lakh beneficiaries
A day after the Odisha government announced that it would spend ₹1,440 crore from State exchequer towards repair of houses under rural housing schemes, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday also pledged to provide COVID-19 assistance for families.
Mr. Patnaik has sanctioned payment of ₹1,000 per family for beneficiaries of the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana (BSKY). A total of ₹960 crore would be transferred to the bank accounts under the cash assistance programme.
The assistance seems to be part of a slew of goodies announced by the Biju Janata Dal ahead of panchayat and civic body polls in the State.
