Besides ex gratia for families who breadwinners died of COVID-19, the party has suggested payment of a monthly allowance and supply of free grain to unorganised sector workers
The CPI(M) has demanded ex gratia to the family of COVID-19 victims who were the sole bread-winners. In a letter to the Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, party State secretary S. Rajangam suggested a monthly allowance to the families of income earners who have died of COVID-19. The government should adopt children who lost their parents and provide them with all the assistance they need, he said. Pointing out that ordinary people and daily wage labourers were in doldrums owing to the extended lockdown, he urged the government to provide 10 kg of food grains to unorganised workers and the poor at ₹7,500 per person per month.More Related News
