JAIPUR: The state cabinet on Wednesday approved allotment of nearly 400 hectares land near Sariska to the forest department in return for the land acquired in Jaipur for the Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana meant to rehabilitate slum dwellers.

Decisions related to salaries and perks of chairperson and members of the state human rights commission, lawyers' welfare, increase in study leave for doctors and enhancing the policemen's allowances were also taken at the meeting. The government has also decided to construct shades and seating arrangements for people coming to the district collectorates and the zila parishads for official reasons. The shades, constructed with a cost of Rs 25 lakh each, would be inaugurated by the ministers on June 11 and 12.

"We will build 12,000 houses under the Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana to rehabilitate the slum dwellers of Jaipur's Sanjay Nagar Bhatta Basti. This will be the country's biggest rehabilitation project under the Yojana," said Shanti Dhariwal, the minister for urban development and housing (UDH). He added that the government would be spending between Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh on each house, which will have two bedrooms, a living room, store, washroom and some open space.

The residents of Sanjay Nagar Bhatta Basti have been illegally residing on the forest department's land near the Nahargarh foothills. The government would be rehabilitating these people at the same area by acquiring the forest land in return for allotting around four times more land to the forest department. "The forest land we are taking here is nearly 70 hectares, while what we are giving near Sariska measures around 400 hectares," Dhariwal said.

The minister said that the salary and perks of human rights commission chairperson has been linked with that of the chief justice. "Similarly, the salary and perks of members of the commission will be at par with that of a high court's judge," said Dhariwal.

It has been decided to implement the Rajasthan Advocates' Welfare Fund (Amendment) Ordinance, 2012. The ordinance would amend the Rajasthan Advocates Welfare Fund Act, 1987. It has been proposed to increase the minimum ex-gratia payment from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh in the event of death of a member of the Welfare Fund. "This will, however, not be applicable to lawyers who become members after attaining the age of 45 years," Dhariwal said.

The aid provided in case of disease and hospitalization has been increased from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 and in case the member suffers from serious diseases or disabilities the aid has been enhanced from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Besides this, a grant of Rs 1 lakh has been proposed for lawyers suffering from AIDS or requiring open heart surgery, organ transplantation and angioplasty.

The cabinet decided to increase the medical officer's study leave for higher education (PG course) from 24 months to 36 months. Another approval was given for creating the post of a senior additional director with the state insurance and provident fund department.
