Victims are facing various hardships –
1.
Even though one month has passed,
they are struggling to get Death
Certificate, Post Mortem Report, etc.
2.
State Government, Collectorate have
started showing apathy and refusing the
victims to get claim of Rs.3 lacs from Home
Ministry, Government of India and Rs.2 lacs
from PMO.
Multiple Agencies, 12 required to be
approached. Lack of coordination –
1.
Hospitals for Postmortem Report

FIR
3. Anti Terrorism
Squad
4.
Railway
5. Railway Claims
Tribunal
6. Maharashtra Govt. for Rs.5 lacs
compensation
7. Home Ministry, GOI for Rs.3 lacs
compensation
8. PMO for Rs.2 lacs compensation
9. Certificate from Hospital
10. Collectorate for submitting the claim
Medical treatment – difficult to get proper
treatment.

immoral GR of Rehabilitation Dept. on
