Kerala Finance department authorises additional ₹30 crore for KSRTC to ensure timely salary and pension payments.
The Kerala Finance department has authorised the release of ₹30 crore more to the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC).
The government had released ₹20 crore at the end of June. Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal said the allocation is meant to ensure prompt payment of salaries and pensions in the KSRTC.
At present, the government is supporting the KSRTC with ₹50 crore almost on a monthly basis. The present Left Democratic Front (LDF) government has released ₹5,747 crore to the road utility so far, said Mr. Balagopal.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
