DMRC Announces Rs 15 Lakh Compensation For Next Of Kin In Tragic Metro Station Accident

According to officials on Wednesday, DMRC will give kin of a female passenger who died in a recent accident at a metro station compensation of Rs 15 lakh.

According to the DMRC’s statement, the incident happened last Saturday at the Inderlok metro station. At first glance, it seems that the passenger’s clothing became tangled in train, causing injuries and eventually leading to death.

The Metro Railway Safety Commissioner (CMRS) is investigating this incident. The statement stated that the next of kin of the deceased will receive Rs 5 lakh in compensation, under the provisions of the Metro Railway (Procedure of Claims) Rules, 2017.

“In addition, as humanitarian assistance to the children of the deceased, an additional amount of Rupees 10 lakhs shall also be provided. Since the children are both minors, DMRC is currently engaged in sorting out the legal modalities of handing over the amount to the legal heir,” it said.

Furthermore, the urban transporter stated that the DMRC will also be responsible for the two children’s education.

DMRC has assigned a group of senior officials to investigate the situation and expedite all necessary steps.

According to the statement, Hardeep Singh Puri, the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, has also instructed the Delhi Metro management to see to the children’s upbringing and education.
