The Minister further informed, “Around Rs 11 crore budgetary allocation has been made for the purpose by the State Government. It has been aimed that the senior citizens those who were deprived of the opportunity of pilgrimage, they are being benefited by this programme. They have also clearly admitted it. Even some senior citizens have confessed that they had never boarded a train earlier in their lives.”
