New Delhi [India], February 25 (ANI): The Delhi government has decided to give an ex-gratia compensation of Rs 1 crore each to the families of 13 COVID warriors who lost their lives during the pandemic.
The compensation was approved in the meeting of the Group of Ministers chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday.
In this meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, ''COVID-19 warriors of Delhi worked hard and sacrificed their lives, putting their service to protect humanity and society before their own lives. We salute their spirit on behalf of the Delhi Government.''

This scheme of the Delhi government gives confidence to the families of COVID warriors that the government and society are always with them.
