Time of India Jul 30, 2015, 11.13 PM IST
Patna: The state cabinet on Thursday decided to extend the retirement age of all government doctors, including 'Ayush', 'ayurvedic', 'Unani' and homeopathic ones, from the existing 65 years to 67 years with immediate effect. More than 4,000 government doctors would be benefitted by this move.
Principal secretary (health) Brajesh Mehrotra said this has been done in view of the large-scale vacancy of doctors in government hospitals.
Later, principal secretary, cabinet secretariat department, Shishir Sinha said the cabinet cleared a total of 36 proposals. A zoo safari would be developed at Rajgir in Nalanda district at an estimated cost of Rs 59.64 crore. A sum of Rs 3 crore was approved for this purpose in the current fiscal year. The cabinet also approved Rs 56.16 crore for the development, upkeep and management of various parks in the state capital. A sum of Rs 15.61 crore has been approved for it in the current financial year.
The cabinet also cleared the Centre's proposal to establish a hotel management institute at Bodh Gaya at an estimated cost of Rs 14.11 crore, in which the Centre's share would be Rs 10 crore and Rs 4.11 crore would be met by the state government. The government has transferred five acres of land free of cost to the Union ministry of tourism for the establishment of the institute.
The state cabinet approved the proposal of the state home department to table the 1989 Bhagalpur communal riots inquiry report - the panel was set up under the chairmanship of retired judge N N Singh — on the table of the state legislature for the implementation of its recommendations. The report was submitted to the government on February 28, 2015.
The proposed science city in Patna would be named after Dr A P J Abdul Kalam now. The agriculture college, Kishanganj, has been renamed as Dr Kalam Agriculture College.
In a rare gesture, the cabinet observed two-minute silence as a mark of respect to former President A P J Abdul Kalam. A condolence message was read out, in which the development initiatives taken by him in Bihar were lauded. The state would continue to follow his 10 'development mantras' for the overall development of Bihar in future also.
The cabinet extended the term of judicial inquiry panel set up to probe the Naurangia police firing in West Champaran district on June 24, 2013 to January 4, 2016. Its current term was to expire on July 5, 2015. In another decision, Rs 3.35 crore was cleared for the administrative expenditure of 8398 gram kutcheries. Each gram kutchery would get Rs 4,000 in the current financial year. A grant-in-aid of Rs 2.50 crore was cleared to meet the establishment cost and other allied expenditure of the Bihar State Human Rights Commission.
