No compensation paid to Ukd victim, as govt failed to issue

No financial assistance could be provided to the kin of those killed or injured in the flash flood in Kedarnath last year, as the Uttarakhand government has failed to provide the death certificates, a senior official said.
"The Uttar Pradesh government had send a final list of dead and missing people in calamity in Uttrakhand in June last year and and the Uttrakhand government was to issue death certificates. But this has not been done so far as a result none of the victim have received the compensation," Rakesh Chandra, Special Secretary (Home) told reporters.
He, however, expressed hope that the reamining formalities would be completed in next 15 to 20 days.

Atleast six persons from Uttar Pradesh were killed and 1,100 went missing in the calamity.
The state government had announced Rs two lakh compensation to each of the kin of the people killed in the incident.
