NEW DELHI: Social Welfare Minister Rajendra Pal Gautam said his government will provide a financial help of Rs 10 lakh to the family of a man who died while cleaning a sewer pit in west Delhi on Friday. "The Delhi government condoles the death of Anil and is ready to offer help of Rs 10 lakh to his family," said Gautam.
Gautam added that the financial aid could get delayed by a day or two due to a hitch over who are the legal heirs of the victim. "The woman said to be Anil's wife is not legally his wife. The lady has some other man's name as her husband in her Aadhar card. Even the children are not his. I have asked the SHO of the area to investigate the matter, so that only legal heirs get the financial aid," Gautam said. Anil, 20, died while cleaning a DJB sewer pit in Dabri on Friday.
