No amount can make up for the void left by a loved one but we hope our initiative of providing Samman Rashi of Rs 1 crore to the families of deceased COVID warriors will help them lead a dignified life- Dy CM Manish Sisodia
NEW DELHI
The Kejriwal Government reinforced its commitment towards COVID Warriors as Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia handed over a Samman Rashi of Rs 1 crore to the family of an LNJP staffer on Friday. Shri Manish Sisodia met with the family of COVID Warrior Kamlesh on Monday. She was employed as a sanitation worker at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital who sacrificed her life during the pandemic while serving the patients at the hospital. To honour her sacrifice, Shri Sisodia handed over the cheque of Rs 1 crore to the family and said, “The country salutes the sacrifice of these brave COVID warriors. The Kejriwal Government took a pledge to take care of the families of the martyred COVID warriors and will always stand with their families in every situation.”
Shri Manish Sisodia said, “during the COVID pandemic, doctors, paramedical staff and sanitation workers fought with the pandemic as frontline warriors. Our COVID warriors risked their lives to get Delhi out of this crisis and stood as an important support system to the infected people as well as the government. The Kejriwal Government will support the families of martyred COVID warriors in every possible situation. We salute the spirit of the COVID warriors. Though this amount cannot compensate for the loss of the families, but we hope, it will definitely help them stand again and have a dignified life.”
Notably, the Kejriwal Government has handed over Samman Rashi of Rs 1 crore each to the families of 30 COVID warriors who sacrificed their lives while serving the people during the pandemic.
