#Covid19 தடுப்பில் உயிரிழக்கும் முன்களவீரர்களின் குடும்பத்திற்கு அறிவிக்கப்பட்ட நிதியுதவியை பாதியாகக் குறைத்து சிறுமைப்படுத்துவது சரியா? இதுவரை...

DMK president M.K. Stalin questioned the AIADMK administration's decision to reduce ex-gratia compensation for families of frontline healthcare personnel who died battling Covid-19, characterizing the move as an insult to their supreme sacrifice. Stalin pointed out that the government had originally announced fifty lakh rupees in relief assistance but subsequently slashed the payout by half, betraying solemn commitments made to medical workers, nurses, and sanitary staff.

Stalin demanded full administrative transparency, asking the state health department to release comprehensive statistics on total frontline infections, verified fatalities, and actual compensation disbursals made to bereaved households. He criticized the administration for suppressing casualty numbers and delaying welfare assistance through bureaucratic obstruction, leaving grieving families in financial distress. Such callous neglect demoralizes dedicated personnel working under hazardous conditions without adequate personal protective equipment or institutional support.

Insisting that the government restore full fifty lakh rupees compensation alongside compassionate public employment for dependents, Stalin asserted that frontline sacrifices must never be trivialized. He declared that the DMK will persistently hold the ruling administration accountable, demanding dignified treatment and comprehensive financial security for all healthcare warriors across the state.
