She announced that Rs 1 lakh will be given to family if a journalist passes away, while Rs 3000 will be given as pension to the kin for 5 years.
In a boost for the media community, the KCR-headed Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) will provide more relief.
“If a journalist, who has passed away, has children, Rs 1,000 will be given for their fees per child until they pass the 10th standard… we don’t want their studies to be disturbed,” Kavitha said.
