Des Ki Baat - September 22, 2021: The families of those who die of Covid will receive Rs 50,000 as compensation from the state governments, the Centre informed the Supreme Court today. Significantly, the compensation will be paid not only for deaths that have already occurred but for future ones, too, the court was told. The funds will be paid by state governments, sourced from their respective disaster response funds, and will be channelled through the District Disaster Management Authority or the district administrations, the government said in an affidavit filed before with the Supreme Court today. India has recorded over 4.45 lakh Covid-related deaths since the pandemic broke out in January 2020. Some states have already announced compensation for families who have lost members to Covid. These include Bihar (Rs 4 lakh per family), Madhya Pradesh (Rs 1 lakh), and Delhi (Rs 50,000). (Audio In Hindi)
