Kin of UP natives killed in attack by wild animals to get Rs 5L compensation now
The family of an Uttar Pradesh native killed in an attack by wild animals would now be given a compensation of Rs five lakh within 24 hours of the incident, an official said Wednesday.
This is possible due to the man-animal conflict made a "state-declared disaster" by a notification issued today, said UP Relief Commissioner Sanjay Kumar.
Referring to the decision of categorising the conflict as a "state-declared disaster", Kumar said "It's a historical decision as UP is the first state in the country to do so."
