Why have only a few claimed COVID-19 ex gratia, asks SC
The Hindu
It asks States to furnish the Centre with answers to eight questions raised by the court
The Supreme Court wondered on Monday why only a few of those who lost their loved ones to COVID-19 have come so far to claim the ₹50000 .
A Bench led by Justice M.R. Shah asked the Chief Secretaries of States to furnish the Centre with answers to a series of eight questions raised by the court. They include the number of deaths recorded in each State, the number of claims received by them individually, the compensation paid so far, and whether grievance redressal committee in each district had been constituted.
The court also asked the States if online portals for disbursal of compensation have been created or not.
