Patna, the capital city of Bihar, has received a significant gift from the Nitish government. Under this gift, the elected representatives at all three levels will now be able to travel in AC class on trains. This new provision will be given to different representatives based on priority. As a result, district council chairpersons and vice-chairpersons will be able to travel in first-class AC. This decision by the Nitish government will benefit 2.25 million representatives.
The Nitish government has given this significant gift to representatives from the district council to the panchayat level, allowing them to travel in first-class to third AC. Considering the unexpected increase in inflation and the increasing responsibilities of nearly two hundred thousand representatives of the gram kachharyas, the government has made this decision. The Bihar government has also given this great gift to the representatives of the gram kachharyas along with the representatives of the third-tier panchayat samitis.
Now, chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of the district council will be able to travel comfortably in the first AC bogie, while council members, panchayat samiti members, block chiefs, deputy chiefs, mukhias, and sarpanches will be able to travel in second AC. This facility has also been provided to deputy sarpanches and panchayat members. They will now be able to travel in third AC. The Additional Chief Secretary of the Panchayati Raj Department, Mihir Singh, issued the order in this regard on Wednesday.
According to the government’s order, representatives of the gram kachharyas, along with the representatives of the third-tier panchayat samitis, will need permission from the district magistrate before traveling. The Finance Department has also approved this initiative and has made provisions for the funds as well.
