”Each family in which a death has occurred due to Covid will be provided an ex gratia of Rs 50,000.”
”We are launching a portal through which such people can apply for financial assistance. Our representatives will also visit such families and get applications filled up,” he added.

The chief minister said such representatives will not reject claims of families in case any document is missing and will only facilitate the process.
There is no income criterion to apply for financial assistance under the scheme.
