Deposing before the Human Rights Commission in Mumbai,
Railway Authorities stated that 4 bodies
have not yet been intensified.
The bench of Justice Mr. Kshitij Vyas and Justice Mr.
Subhash Lala initiated hearings of the Human
Rights Commission today in response to the
plea filed by senior BJP leader, Dr. Kirit
Somaiya, for rehabilitation of the 26/11
terror attack victims.
22 security personnel and 166 innocent people died in the
terror attack on Mumbai while 311 were
injured.
Dr. Somaiya pointed out that in spite of 3 months having
passed since the attack, the victims’
families have not yet received the Rs.2 lac
help announced by the Prime Minister or the
Rs.3 lac announced by the Home Ministry.
The Centre has stated that, as Maharashtra
Govt. has not submitted the names of the
deceased, the help has not been disbursed.
Dr. Somaiya pointed out that some victims still have
bullets in their bodies and the Government
has not made adequate arrangements to get
them operated. He added that the State
Government and Railways are passing the buck
to each other.
Dr. Somaiya alleged that the Government has not withdrawn
the G.R. of Rs.13 lacs from the Rs.25 lacs
announced for the deceased by the State
Government. He said that this is a case of
one hand offering the help and the other
hand taking it away.
The Commission then ordered the State
Government to file its reply. |
