UP government to reimburse Atal Bihari Vajpayee's Rs 2.5 crore ash immersion bills

India Today  

The Uttar Pradesh State Information Department will now foot the Rs 2.5 crore bill that was incurred on the programme organised last August for the immersion of the ashes of late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Reports suggest that a number of letters were exchanged between the LDA and the State Information Department for payment of the bills. When the matter kicked up a controversy, the state Information Director Shishir Singh sent a letter to the LDA saying that the Department would foot the bills and procedure for this had begun. Vajpayee's ashes had been brought to Lucknow by a special plane by Union Minister Rajnath Singh who is also the MP from Lucknow.
