Covid compensation has become a controversial problem in the state when experts believe that the actual number of people who surrendered to Covid can be much higher which is expected to produce higher claims for ex gratia equal to rs 50,000.
“The simple reason for this is that the state, citing the ICMR guidelines, only counting those who do not have a Covid death.

The actual number will only be known after the assessment of all claims submitted to the State Authority, “City said in the city of the epidemiologist.
