No state govt will deny Rs 50,000 ex-gratia to Covid victims over technicalities: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Monday told the district disaster management authorities (DDMA) and the grievance redressal committees to avoid any technicalities and act as a helping hand, as it ruled that no state government would deny Rs 50,000 ex-gratia assistance to the kin of Covid victims, solely on the ground that the death certificate did not mention the viral disease as cause of death.
