The Delhi government on Thursday announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs 10 lakh to the next of kin of people who died in the Maviya Nagar fire after Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met people who sustained injuries at a hospital.
People with serious injuries will get Rs 5 lakh in assistance from the Delhi government, the CMO said in a post on X.
A fire in a bread and breakfast establishment in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar on Wednesday morning claimed 21 lives and rendered 25 other injured including several foreigners.
Gupta met people who were admitted to the Max Saket hospital, and directed officials to ensure best treatment and provide all help needed by them.
BJP MLA from Malviya Nagar Satish Upadhyay who accompanied Gupta, said that the condition of all the injured persons admitted to the hospital was better now.
