Thiruvananthapuram ∙ 10 Ministers in the state are getting a new luxury Innova Crysta. A Crysta is priced at Rs 32.22 lakh. 3,22,20,000 was sanctioned for purchase of vehicles. On Thursday, the tourism department issued an order sanctioning the amount. Ministers should return their old vehicles to the tourism department.
Ministers are allocated vehicles by the Tourism Department. As part of state hospitality, the Ministers were allowed money to purchase a new Innova Crysta on the grounds that the current vehicles of the Department of Tourism are inadequate. Due to the financial crisis, the finance department had opposed the purchase of vehicles.
The Finance Department has asked the Tourism Department to submit a file documenting the use of existing vehicles. After considering the demand submitted by the ministers, the finance department gave permission to purchase only 5 vehicles. Tourism Minister PA Muhammad Riaz with the approval of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan took a decision on the file for the purchase of 10 vehicles in the Cabinet meeting.
