Patna, April 29 (PTI): The Bihar government has decided to grant pension to those who were jailed during the Jai Prakash Narain-led movement which culminated in the fall of Indira Gandhi regime and installation of the first non-Congress dispensation at the Centre.
Those killed during the 1974-77 movement would be treated as martyrs and their families too would be given pension, state home secretary Afzal Amanullah said here on Saturday.
A four-member committee headed by deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, himself a product of the movement, has been constituted to chalk out the modalities, quantum of pension and eligibility of the pensioners.
The committee, also comprising state agriculture minister Narendra Singh, Excise and Prohibition minister Sudha Srivastava and Urban Development minister Ashwini Kumar Chaubey, is expected to submit its report to the government in three months.
