Patna,(BiharTimes): Even if a criminal is killed during any Maoist attack, his dependent would get an ex gratia amount, provided the deceased has not been listed as a criminal in the government’s records or any criminal case lodged against him.

Earlier, dependents of criminals were not deemed as suitable for receiving ex gratia. The ex gratia payment is Rs one lakh against death, Rs 50,000 for being rendered permanently handicapped and Rs 20,000 against any serious injury.
This decision was taken by the state cabinet at its meeting on Thursday.
The cabinet also gave its approval to the launch of e-district project on a pilot basis in four districts––Nalanda, Aurangabad, Madhubani and Gaya––under the national e-governance programme. In the e-districts, applications for the issuance of select certificates would be filed at the block-level Vasudha Kendra while the certificates would also be issued through online facility at the same Vasudha Kendra.
The cabinet also gave its administrative sanction to the use of Rs 167.03 crore for the strengthening and raising of the embankment of the Adhwara and Kharoi group of rivers. The cabinet also gave its nod to the creation of additional 13 posts of plan assistants, 11 posts of data operators and 26 lower division typists for district planning offices under the planning and development department.
