Duty allowance of PRD volunteers increased by Rs 105 in UP

Lucknow, Apr 8 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to hike the daily duty allowance of over 34,000 Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) volunteers by 26 percent, from Rs 395 to Rs 500, offering them major relief.
The proposal in this regard was passed during the cabinet meeting, which was chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at Lok Bhavan on Tuesday.
Giving details of the proposal, Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna said, "The new allowance will come into effect from April 1. The increase will translate into an additional Rs 3,150 per month per volunteer (based on 30 days of attendance), imposing an annual financial burden of Rs 75.87 crore on the state exchequer. The move has sparked widespread happiness among PRD personnel, which is crucial in maintaining law and order at the grassroots level."
