Under the rehabilitation package distribution, an amount of 63.20 lakh has been distributed to 3 affected people on the first day.
The affected people to whom the compensation amount has been distributed include Subedar Major Manglu Lal (Senior) of Gandhinagar Ward, and Krishna Panwar and Baldev Singh Panwar of Sunil Ward. Compensation of 63.20 lakh has been distributed to these three families.
The verification and evaluation work of the records of the affected people is being done by the administration at a fast pace. Soon the compensation amount will be distributed to other affected people under the rehabilitation package.
