He also said that the state government will offer a financial assistance sum of Rs. 1000 for every beneficiary. The state government will continue to pay the assistance amount to the needy people till the work sectors come back on track.

The state government is taking the necessary measures to ensure smooth fiscal distribution to around 35.23 lakh beneficiaries. The group contains 20.23 lakh construction sector labors, while the remaining 15 lakh individuals have blue-collar jobs, and earn daily wages.

Details on Coronavirus cases

The central and state governments have decided to implement the semi-lockdown strategy on pan-India basis.
