Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was on a visit to blast-hit Ahmedabad, has announced an ex gratia of Rs 3.50 lakh for the families of those dead in the Saturday blasts. The prime minister also announced a compensation of Rs 50,000 for the injured.
Earlier, the Centre had announced an ex-gratia of Rs 1 lakh for those killed in the blasts.
“I have come to express our solidarity with the people of Gujarat in their hour of crisis. I commend the people of Gujarat for the resilience they have shown. These terrorist acts are aimed at destroying our social fabric, undermining communal harmony and demoralising our people.... We will rise to the challenge and I am confident we will be able to defeat these forces,” said the prime minister.
