The disbursement of Rs. 10,000 for government employees as planned by the Telangana government to compensate post-demonetization losses began today.
The State government decided to pay a stipend of Rs. 10,000 (in cash) in addition to the salary to every employee from November in view of the note ban and the acute shortage of new currency notes. The disbursement started through banks from Thursday.
Employees and pensioners have been standing in long queues since the morning to collect their stipend. They were paid Rs. 10,000 each in the SBH at Secretariat. The branch manager said that they set up three counters for the purpose.
