Delhi: Kin of staff who died on Covid duty get Rs 1 cr each

“The courage and selfless service of these brave individuals will forever remain etched in our hearts, inspiring future generations with lessons of duty, compassion, and devotion,” she said.

While emphasizing that no government can ever truly compensate for the loss of a human life, Gupta added that it is nonetheless the government’s moral duty to provide every possible support to such families.

Further, Gupta said the Delhi government has always upheld the principle of ‘People First’ at the core of its governance model. “These brave men and women not only fulfilled their duties but also set an extraordinary example of humanity and devotion,” she added.

Slamming the previous AAP government, the CM accused it of showing zero apathy towards extending due assistance to these families, despite their legal entitlement.

“When the entire world was confined indoors, our doctors, nurses, sanitation workers, paramedics, and other government employees stood steadfast on duty. Unfortunately, their families had to wait years for what was rightfully theirs,” she said.

The families that received financial assistance included the kin of two Border Security Force (BSF) officers.
