Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday requested MPs to allocate Rs 1 crore from their MPLADS fund to local authorities to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. The country is passing through a tough phase due to COVID-19 and "as public representatives, it is our duty to stand with the people", Birla said in a letter to all Lok Sabha members.

He urged the parliamentarians to allocate the Rs 1 crore to local authorities in their respective constituencies. Birla has already announced to give his one month's salary to the Prime Minister Relief Fund.
