NEW DELHI:
The Kejriwal Government has stepped in with immediate help for victims of Kondli STP mishap. Deputy CM Shri Manish Sisodia visited the homes of the victims on CM Arvind Kejriwal’s directions and handed over Rs 10 lac and assured them of a suitable job to each victim’s family. He promised both the families of all possible support from the government and said that the void left behind in the families cannot be filled up by any compensation amount but we hope this gives them some strength to deal with the suffering. He added that what happened in Kondli is an extremely distressing and painful incident; getting it investigated on priority, will ensure strictest punishment for the guilty.
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia visited the homes of the victims of the Kondli STP accident on Thursday. The victim Yashdev was a resident of Biharipur, Delhi and Nitesh belonged to Bulandshahr. He met with the families and talked to them at length as he expressed his sorrow at the incident. The Dy CM assured the families of all possible support from the Delhi Government and handed over a cheque of Rs 10 lac each to them as well as assured them of a job in the Delhi Jal Board to their next-of-kin.
The Deputy Chief Minister said, “The void left behind in the families of Nitesh and Yashdev cannot be filled up by any compensation amount but the government will do everything to support their families. We will provide jobs to a member in each family in order to help them regain the track of their lives. Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal directed me to personally meet with the families of the victims and asked me to ensure that they should not face any problem in getting the compensation.”
Shri Manish Sisodia added, “The death of the victims is a very painful incident. The government is getting the whole Kondli STP accident investigated. Strictest action will be taken against the culprits. The Delhi Government has made very stringent rules and regulations for cleaning of sewers, but sometimes contractors violate the rules and take the labourers into the sewer without following the safety guidelines. The Delhi Government will make sure that no such incident is repeated in future.”
