Government employees would get one more instalment of dearness allowance in their salaries with effect from February, 2011, Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac told the Assembly on Tuesday.
Replying to the discussion on supplementary demand for grants for a total sum of Rs.64 crore from some government departments, he said the government planned an expense of Rs.1,000 crore for road works during the remaining months of this financial year.
This expense would be in addition to that earmarked in the Budget for the purpose. He also announced the government's intention to freshly allocate Rs.20 crore each for the Muziris Heritage Project and Thalassery Heritage Project during the current financial year.
A sum of Rs.10 crore would be allocated for heritage works along the canals of Alappuzha too, he said. There would also be an additional allocation of Rs.10 crore for relief measures for fishermen and workers in the beedi and coir sectors. An additional sum of Rs.25 lakh would be given to each MLA for road repair in their constituencies.
