NEW DELHI: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday held an urgent meeting with Health Minister Satyender Jain, District Magistrate (N E), District Magistrate (Revenue), Joint Commissioner of Police and other senior officers to discuss the status of relief disbursements to Delhi riot victims.
"As the families are all set to move from the relief camps and head to their homes, it is important for us to ensure a safe environment for them. Tighten the security and deport more police officers to the affected regions. This is a step for the people to get their fears quelled, and to restart their lives normally again. It is also important for us in our peace restoration measures," said Sisodia.
"I want to get done with relief disbursements as soon as possible. All irregularities concerning names of victims should be sorted." He also directed the DMs to sort the duplication issue of forms soon. "I want you to direct your respective SDMs to speed up the verification process and remove all kinds of duplication found in the relief compensation forms. I want my team to work day and night and get done with the verification immediately," the Deputy Chief Minister
said.
According to a tatement released by the Delhi government, a sum of Rs 13,51,51,590 has been disbursed till now. 214 forms have been received for substantial damage to households and 203 of them have been provided with full monetary compensation. 221 forms for households with minor damages have been received out of which 163 have been fully compensated.
"Acid attack cases have to be treated under the category of grievous injury and the compensation should be given accordingly," said Satyender Jain. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also demanded a heightened security system in the form of civil defence personnel deployed at relief camps to keep infiltrators away.
