Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday announced that MLAs will now get a “driver allowance” of Rs 20,000 per month in addition to the travel allowance being given at the rate of Rs 18 per km.

The Chief Minister made this announcement in the Assembly on the concluding day of the budget session.

Khattar said as per the existing provision, a travel allowance at the rate of Rs 18 per km is being given to the MLAs for journeys by road between places not connected by rail.

“Now, we have made another provision as per which MLAs will now get a ‘driver allowance’ of Rs 20,000 for journeys by road between places not connected by rail in addition to the travelling allowance being given at the rate of Rs 18 per km,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
