Ranchi: The compensation amount allocated for the people and animals who died due to lightning in Palamu district will be paid within a month.
Gupta, who became the Health Minister, gave this assurance in the House on a poorly informed question by Minister Kamlesh Singh.
The MLA asked the government that Palamu DC has written a letter to the Disaster Department to allocate a total amount of Rs 35 lakh 35 thousand 400 for the payment of compensation for the people and animals killed due to lightning in Palamu, but the allocation has not been received yet.
