Why Rs 10 lakh aid to kin of Kallakurichi hooch victims? Madras HC questions TN govt
==========
The Madras High Court has questioned the Tamil Nadu government's decision to provide Rs 10 lakh aid to the families of the victims of the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy. The court deemed the compensation amount as 'huge' and questioned the rationale behind it. The bench suggested that a mechanism other than compensation should be worked out for rehabilitating the families. The petitioner argued that the solatium should only be given to accident victims and not to families of those who consumed illicit liquor. The court has asked the government to reconsider the amount distribution within two weeks.
