“There are many schools for physically challenged running from rented premises. The welfare department will take a call on which school to shift tot the seized bungalow,” said principal secretary, cabinet coordination Vijay Prakash.

Earlier, two schools were opened in confiscated property of officers facing disproportionate assets (DA) and corruption charges, namely, 1981 batch IAS SS Verma and treasury clerk Girish Kumar. The confiscated property of the tainted IAS officer is also located in Rukunpura and houses a primary school, shifted from Musahari area.

In another decision, the state cabinet approved the proposal to provide 30% special allowance to central para military force officers who are attached with ASP ( operations) and engaged in anti-Naxal operations in Bihar. The allowance has been given at par with personnel of the special task force.
