Speaking at an event in the State Capital on August Kranti Day, which commemorates the Quit India Movement, CM Majhi said, "Families of freedom fighters from across the State will soon get pension under ‘Kutumba Yojana’."

The Chief Minister also said that his government will soon identify the families of the freedom fighters and modalities will be framed to provide pensions to them.
