Riot affected victims whose houses have been burnt will be given immediate relief of Rs 25,000 on behalf of the Delhi government. Victims will not be required to present documents for immediate relief.
One of the SDMS in the northeast said that they have started distributing the compensation to the victims and family members of the deceased. "We have given compensation to more than 10 families," he said, adding that their staff are reaching out to more people everyday.
The officials of the concerned department were engaged in assessing the loss of those who have lost their lives, houses, shops, and vehicles, in the Delhi violence.
