Tag: Covid Ex Gratia

A resident of Bhubaneswar, Odisha's Capital city, has brought serious allegations against the local civic authorities of 'offering' Covid death compensation to him even though there has been no case of demise in his family. 

State Health department has written to Collectors in all districts to constitute a committee at district-level for issuance of ‘Official document’ for Covid-19 death.

'The ex-gratia assistance to families affected by Covid-19 deaths will continue to be provided for deaths that may occur in the future phases of the pandemic as well, or until further notification'

The Supreme Court had said the Centre failed to perform its statutory duty cast under Section 12 of the Disaster Management Act to issue minimum standards of relief for families of those people who lost their lives to Covid-19.
