AGARTALA, June 19 (TIWN): Total 300 crore has been sanctioned for social pensioners’ budget scheme in Tripura.

Finance Minister Jishnu Debbarma has announced this in the first day of State Assembly budget session.

However, whether the allowances will be hiked or not, it’s not yet cleared, even though before the Election BJP promised to give at least Rs. 2000 social pension to the beneficiaries.

However, whole list of the beneficiaries will be scanned as there are chances for having huge numbers of fake beneficiaries followed by CPI-M’s 25 years of ruling.

Total 33 social pensions are being given in Tripura  since the CPI-M Govt’s time.
