Chief Minister’s Relief Fund has sanctioned Rs. one lakh for the medical expenses of an accident victim who is undergoing treatment at a private hospital here.
Moved by a report that appeared in The Hindu on December 14, 2014 about the poor condition of the victim Ashwini and the inability of her parents to meet the medical expenses, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered to provide succour from CM’s Relief Fund.
The Assistant Commissioner, C.N. Manjunath promptly acted in filing the required documents to claim the funds after visiting victim’s parents following a direction from CM’s office.
Intimation in connection with sanction of fund has been received, Mr. Manjunath told The Hindu on Monday. However, we are yet to receive the cheque, he added.
Injured in an accident in 2013, Ashwini, a final year B.Com student of Government College for Women here, is being treated at R.L. Jalappa Hospital on the outskirts of the town.
