The Bengal cabinet on Monday cleared a proposal for creating 5,100 posts in the rank of constable and junior constable for land-loser families in the Deocha-Pachami coal mine project area in Birbhum district.

Besides, the cabinet also approved the rollout of a Rs 10,000 crore rehabilitation package for the land losers.

“The cabinet has cleared a proposal to create 5,100 posts of constables and junior constables for land losers for the Deocha-Pachami project…. One from each of the land-loser families would get a job of either constable or junior constable according to their educational qualifications,” chief minister Mamata Banerjee said while emerging from the cabinet meeting held at Nabanna on Monday.
