MLA local area fund hiked from ₹4cr to cr development
Hindustan Times
|December 16, 2023
The Delhi government has increased the local area development (LAD) fund for each member of legislative assembly (MLA) from 24 crore to 7 crore, urban development minister Saurabh Bharadwaj announced in the Delhi assembly on Friday.
The increase will help the MLAs to spend more money on the development of the areas under their constituencies, he added. "In the last two financial years due to the pandemic, no fund was released under MLA-LAD. Due to Covid, the income of the government had also dipped.
Then for the next two years, 24 crore was given under the MLALAD fund. Now, for the 2023-24 financial year as well as the next year (2024-25), MLAs will get 27 crore. They have to do a lot of small work such as those related to water and sewer, installing open gyms in parks, development of internal roads, among other things," said Bharadwaj.
In 2018-19 the Delhi cabinet increased the fund to 10 crore, but it was reduced to 24 crore due to Covid. A Delhi government official said that 10 crore was given to the MLAs in both years 2018-19 and 2019-20. However, in 2020-21, no money was released, and in 2021-22 and 2022-23 the Delhi government only released 24 crore.

'WE SHOULD STOP USING THE TERM PAN-INDIA ACTOR'
Priya Mani Raj, who is set for the release of The Family Man Season 3 next month, has worked in both regional and Hindi industries, but is averse to the tag of “pan-India actor”. Expressing her disapproval, she says, “We're all Indian at the end of the day. You get work in other industries, and that's a good thing, but you don't call someone a ‘regional actor’ when they come from Bollywood to the South. For years, actors from both sides have worked across languages. Why are we suddenly labeling them now? Accept us for who we are and for the characters we play.”
