The Committee also approved employment in favour of 12 cases and cash compensation of Rs. 4 Lakh in remaining five cases. Meanwhile, 28 cases approved earlier by the Committee for payment of cash compensation were decided to be submitted to General Administration Department in view of reluctance of NoKs for receiving cash compensation.
Several cases of compensation to victims of cross-LoC shelling were also approved for payment of compensation as per norms of Central Government Scheme for assistance to victims of cross-border firing as well as SDRF/SRE. These included one death case, six injured, 51 cases of houses damaged and 33 cases of livestock killed due to shelling.
