SC to NDMA: Fix compensation for kin of Covid victims
The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to determine within six weeks the ex-gratia amount that can be paid to each Covid victim. The apex court said that NDMA is statutorily mandated to provide minimum standards of relief, including ex-gratia to Covid victims. By not providing ex-gratia amount, the NDMA has failed in discharging its statutory duty.
