SP chief Akhilesh demands Rs 1 cr each to next of kin of Delhi basement flood victims

Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and urged him to direct the government to pay Rs 1 crore compensation to the next of kin of the students who died in the rain-flooded basement of a coaching centre in Delhi.

Yadav, in his letter, said the incident has shaken people, created a fear in the minds of students preparing for competitive exams, and put a question mark on their future.

“I request you to direct the government that the next of kin of the deceased students be given Rs 1 crore compensation by the government, and responsibility should be fixed and strict action must be taken immediately,” Yadav said.
