Henceforth a monthly pension of Rs 1,200 for differently able persons would also be given to those suffering from 60 per cent disability, Khattar said during a public meeting here.
Presently, the pension is given to those having 70 per cent disability.
Khattar also said that henceforth no differently able person would be referred to a doctor to prove his disability.
The CM made the announcement following one Sushila, a resident of village Barak tried to see him because she was fed-up by making repeated rounds of hospital and the concerned department to get a certificate of disability issued for her son.
Deeply moved by her hardship Khattar made the announcement.
