Tamil Nadu sanctions record payout of Rs 1,137 crore to settle transport staff dues
CHENNAI: In the largest one-time sanction for the transport sector in recent years, the Tamil Nadu govt on Monday released Rs 1,137.97 crore to settle long-pending terminal benefits of retired, voluntarily retired and deceased employees of all State Transport Undertakings (STUs). According to the order, the sanctioned sum will be distributed across the eight transport corporations including Metropolitan Transport Corporation (Rs 157.81 crore), and State Express Transport Corporation (Rs 54.41 crore). The sanction covers dues accumulated between July 2023 and April 2024. The transport department had originally sought Rs 2,450.83 crore to clear dues up to Jan 2025, but the govt has now advanced a significant portion to relieve the financial burden on former employees and their families.

'Since the retirement age was raised to 60, several faced mounting medical bills, and some even passed away before receiving their dues. This sanction will now make a big difference, helping families cover healthcare costs, marriages or loan repayments'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He pointed out that those with around two decades of service could expect Rs25-Rs30 lakh each through this release. 'In the past, such dues were settled in smaller tranches of Rs150-Rs200 crore. This time, the govt has sanctioned the amount in one go, which is a major relief. We hope that pending benefits for serving employees — including nearly 14 months of DA and nine months of arrears from the 2023 pay revision — are cleared soon,' he said. Transport secretary Shunchonngam Jatak Chiru has directed managing directors of all STUs to disburse the sanctioned sums quickly and submit compliance details in a week, warning that deviations will be viewed seriously. The disbursal, officials noted, comes with strict monitoring provisions under the Tamil Nadu Financial Code and will be overseen by the transport department in coordination with the finance department. The govt clarified that (Rs1,137.97) funds will be drawn as a ways and means advance and later regularised in the Revised Estimate/Final Modified Appropriation for 2025-26, with the expenditure to be included in the Supplementary Estimates.

Five, including woman, held for attempting to murder her husband in Sriperumbudur
Sriperumbudur Police has arrested five persons, including a woman, for paying hirelings to kill her husband as he had opposed her relationship with another man. Police sources said one Arikrishnan,45, of Mevalur Kuppam, runs a biryani shop along the national highways. His wife Bhavani, 39, was assisting him in the business. One Madhan Kumar, 29, who was working at the eatery, developed a relationship with Bhavani and after coming to know their relationship through CCTV footage, Arikrishnan removed Madhan Kumar from the job and warned him. Then she and Madhan Kumar had devised a plan to Arikrishnan with the help of hirelings from Thiruvarur. Recently Arikrishnan escaped narrowly, an attempt by the gang to kill him by ramming a car on him on the national highways. Subsequently, the gang contacted him over phone and demanded Rs 5 lakh to spare him. The gang allegedly told him that his wife along with her male friend Madhan Kumar negotiated a deal to kill him for Rs. 15 lakh and paid Rs 2 lakh advance. They said to him that they would spare him if he would pay Rs 5 lakh, said police sources. Following this he lodged a complaint with the police. On investigation, police arrested Bhavani and Madhan Kumar and three others who allegedly admitted the crime.
