The Cabinet further approved a proposal of the Labour Department according to which over 1,20,000 beneficiaries or workers who work in the unorgsed sector will be paid Rs 700 each for three weeks.

Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said that there are over 3000 students and workers from the state stranded in other parts of the country and each of them will be given a one-time financial benefit of Rs 3000.

On the local weekly market, Tynsong said that the local village markets will be open, but the Deputy Commissioners have been directed to check the feasibility of reopening local village markets in districts that are interlinked with interstate boundary.
