The cabinet presided over by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also decided to sanction lien for five years to those holding posts in the newly elected panchayat bodies, if they were in service, Chatterjee said.

"This will help them to devote more time to development work," he said.

The elected representatives holding posts in new panchayat bodies will not be entitled to draw more than one salary, the minister added.
