covid victim

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has been directed to determine within six weeks the ex-gratia amount that can be paid to each Covid victim. The Supreme Court has said that NDMA has been failed to discharge its statutory duty.

The plea further sought directions to the States to issue death certificates/ any letter to the families of deceased, stating therein the cause of death. The medical officers have not been conducting post mortem of the persons, who are dying due to COVID-19.
