"This is in addition to the social security pension for the surviving widows of the Bhopal gas leak victims," Narottam Mishra said.
The Madhya Pradesh cabinet on Tuesday decided to provide an additional pension of Rs 1,000 per month to widows of the Bhopal gas tragedy victims, state Home Minister Narottam Mishra said. "This is in addition to the social security pension for the surviving widows of the Bhopal gas leak victims," Narottam Mishra, who is also the government's spokesperson, told reporters after the cabinet meeting. The decision was taken despite the finance department's objections to the proposal of providing additional Rs 1,000 to these women, he said. Narottam Mishra said the previous Kamal Nath-led Congress government had stopped the additional pension in 2019.More Related News
