Delhi Government To Provide Rs 1 Crore Ex-Gratia To Families Of 28 COVID-19 Warriors

The AAP government declared during the epidemic that it would give Rs 1 crore in compensation to the relatives of the healthcare and frontline workers who were working tirelessly to help others.

The families of the 28 Corona Warriors who died in the line of duty during the COVID-19 outbreak will be compensated by the Delhi government for Rs 1 crore. Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister, presided over a meeting of ministers where the decision was made on Tuesday (September 27)

He said, "Corona warriors of Delhi worked selflessly during the pandemic and sacrificed their lives to protect humanity and society without caring for their own lives. Delhi government salutes their spirit. No amount can compensate for the loss of the family of the martyred corona warriors, but their family will definitely get a means to live a dignified life through this amount."

In every need of the families of Corona Warriors, the government stands with them."
