The Raman Singh-led Chhattisgarh government would be doling out bonuses worth Rs 274 crore to tendu leave collectors, located in areas affected by left-wing extremism (LWE) in the state.

The move, which is being called the “green gold” collection, is slated to benefit around 1.4 million tendu leave collectors in Chhattisgarh- a majority of whom reside in areas considered to be a stronghold of Naxal rebels.

The state government has launched the ‘Tendu leaves bonus tyohar (festival)’, which took off from December 2 and is slated to end on December 11. Around 14 programmes will be held in different districts
