CM unhappy over COVID relief pendency

Death or surviving member certificates no longer required, he said

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed strong displeasure over pendency in implementing the Mukhyamantri Parivar Aarthik Sahayata Yojana, meant to benefit the next of kin of those who lost their lives to COVID-19.

At a high-level review meeting over the scheme on Friday, the CM directed the officers to disburse the amount due to the families of COVID-19 victims at the earliest. He also ordered that there will no longer be a need for death certificates and surviving member certificates from the families and officials should instead verify applications from the MHA list or official records and immediately disburse money.
