The state home department today, in a notification added a rider in the form of eligibility check saying that the increased amount of terminal benefit would only be given to a civic volunteer after having their eligibility checked.
Earlier last week, the state government had announced an increased rate of adhoc bonus for the civic and village police of the state.
