Announced under Rule 110, the package is intended to let members travel their constituencies and monitor projects “without depending on others” — — a move the government says improves constituency monitoring without depending on third parties.
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay announced official vehicles and a monthly allowance for all 234 members of the Legislative Assembly, making the announcement under Rule 110 on Wednesday.
The support measures, he said, would help members travel across their constituencies to address public grievances and monitor government projects without depending on others — a reference to the practice of legislators relying on party functionaries, contractors or local sponsors for transport.
The package covers an official vehicle for each member, along with a monthly allowance intended for constituency work. Reports have also referred to secretarial support and provision toward driver and fuel costs. Figures circulating in press reports vary, and the government has not published a consolidated per-member breakdown; the detailed order will settle the precise amounts.
The announcement came alongside two major welfare decisions the same day, and is designed to support constituency monitoring — enabling MLAs to travel to project sites, reach citizens and oversee government work without depending on third parties. The Rule 110 announcement in the Assembly provided the policy basis.
