Kailash Gahlot visited the family of a deceased Delhi Transport Corporation bus driver<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot on Monday visited the family of a deceased Delhi Transport Corporation bus driver who died of Covid and handed over an ex-gratia relief of Rs 1 crore.<\/p>\n

Lal Singh developed symptoms of COVID-19 after performing his duty on June 7, 2020. Later, he tested positive and succumbed on June 18.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife and two children. Singh joined the transport service in 1984 as a cleaner and was promoted to tyre man. He became a driver in 2002.<\/p>\n

“The Delhi government will always stand with the families of Covid warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect humanity and society,” Mr\u00a0Gahlot said.<\/p>\n

“I completely understand and acknowledge that no amount of money would be able to compensate for the loss of a loved one, but this ‘Samman Rashi’ is a way for the Delhi Government to pay tribute to the sacrifice made by these corona warriors,” he added.<\/p>\n
