Govt staff kin compensation cut to ₹25 lakh
Chennai: 7.8.2020
Tamil Nadu government has reduced its compensation and sanctioned ₹25 lakh each to the 28 families/legal heirs of government staff and local body employees who died of Covid-19 while engaged in frontline pandemic work. The members died between May 10 and June 26, and at least eight of them were from Greater Chennai Corporation limits.
In April, CM Edappadi K Palaniswami had announced that ₹50 lakh each will be extended as relief to the bereaved families of government employees involved in Covid-19 duty. This was reduced to ₹25 lakh each. “The relief has been revised due to more deaths and likely numbers in future,” said a senior official, seeking anonymity. TNN
