Jat stir: Haryana govt seeks Rs 1,000 cr aid from NDMA

Haryana government has sought financial assistance of Rs 1,000 from National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) as compensation for people affected during the recent Jat quota agitation in the state.

“Haryana government has urged National Disaster Management Authority to provide assistance to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore to the state so that appropriate compensation and relief can be provided to the victims of man-made disaster, the pro-Jat reservation agitation, and the state can move ahead with the process of reconstruction and rehabilitation,” an official spokesman said here on Saturday.

NDMA has been informed that in the month of February this year, substantial damage was caused to a large number of properties, both government and private, during the unrest related to the Jat reservation agitation.
