Kolkata, Jan 26 (IANS) West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress Monday regretted that the state's tableau was not allowed to take part in the 66th Republic Day parade in New Delhi.

"Bengal tableaux for Republic Day, depicting path-breaking 'Kanya Shree' initiative, was not allowed. We repeatedly requested...Life goes on," tweeted Trinamool Rajya Sabha chief whip Derek O'Brien.

If the girl continues her studies up to the age of 18 years and remains unmarried till then, a one-time grant of Rs. 25,000 is deposited in her bank account.
