On Compensation to Families of Covid Victims

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) rejects the Central Government’s understanding with regard to compensation to Corona victims, as stipulated under the Disaster Management Act, which has been invoked by the Central Government to deal with the Covid pandemic. Under the provisions of this Act compensation to the victims of a disaster has to be paid.
