No compensation for NE shooting victims
Times of India | Caesar Mandal, TNN | Jun 17, 2011, 01.40am IST
Nearly two years have elapsed since militants gunned down three unskilled labourers from remote villages of Patharpratima in South 24 Paraganas inside the campus of Central Agricultural University, Iroisemba in Manipur's Imphal West district. Soon after the incident, both Manipur and Bengal governments promised to pay 4 lakh and 1 lakh respectively as compensation to each hapless family. However, despite moving from pillar to post, families of the three haven't been compensated by the Manipur government, allegedly due to red tape in the Bengal government's labour department.
Accordingly, the families submitted the documents to assistant labour commissioner at Diamond Harbour in August, 2010. But the file remained with additional labour commissioner Subal Biswas for more than 80 days while former labour minister Anadi Sahoo sat on it for the next 50 days. Finally, documents were sent to the Manipur government in January, 2011. But the original copies were never sent though that's what the Manipur government wanted. So, compensation from the Manipur government never reached the victims.
