The remaining Rs 500 million is reserved for the construction of Community Bunkers. The heads for the supplementary grants from where the budget will be diverted have not been specified by the Finance Ministry.

Earlier, the ECC had directed the General Headquarters to meet the costs of providing protection to important projects and military installments through regular budget instead of supplementary allowances, however, the matter was again brought to the meeting and has now been approved.
