These days the festival of faith is going on in India. Crores of devotees have come to this Mahakumbh being held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. And crores of devotees are expected to come. Today, on January 29, there was a holy occasion of Mauni Amavasya and on this auspicious occasion, crores of devotees reached Prayagraj for a holy bath, but in the morning, very bad news came for the devotees. There was a stampede in Prayagraj Mahakumbh and this stampede was so terrible that about 30 people died in this stampede. Now the question arises whether compensation will be given for death in this stampede. Is there any provision for compensation by the government in such cases? Let us tell you. What are the rules in this regard?
30 people have died due to stampede. From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, everyone has expressed their condolences on this terrible accident. The Uttar Pradesh government has announced a compensation of Rs 5-5 lakh for those who died in this stampede. Therefore, one lakh rupees will be given to the injured, so the railway will also give compensation of one lakh rupees to all the dead. Compensation is issued by the government when such an incident occurs in a public place. Last year, more than 100 people died in a stampede in Hathras. Even in that stampede, the families of the deceased were compensated by the government. If any kind of accident happens anywhere. Therefore, the government keeps many things and facts in mind to decide the compensation amount. For example, how much damage was done to the victims. How much will be spent on their treatment? If someone dies, the government decides the compensation amount keeping in mind the cost of funeral and the needs of the family.
