"We did speedy verification on fast track basis. Now 50,000 are verified and pension of 30,000 beneficiaries is already been released and by March 31, we will transfer the amount to the rest 20,000 verified pensioners. In next two months, we will verify and release old-age pensions of other benificiaries," he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that government has also decided to bring out a White Paper on electricity commissioned under former DERC Chief Bijendra Singh.
