“Late Munish Devi died due to COVID-19 on duty. On the orders of Arvind Kejriwal, I met her family members today, gave them an honorarium of Rs 1 crore, and assured them of all help in the future,” Health Minister Satyendar Jain tweeted.
Jain also provided a financial aid of Rs 1 crore to the family of Dr Mithilesh Kumar Singh who succumbed to the viral disease while working at a hospital.
“The nation will forever be indebted to him for his services,” he said.
In 2020, the Delhi government had announced that it would provide financial assistance of Rs 1 crore to the families of all the frontline workers who contracted COVID-19 on duty and died.
Several frontline workers, including healthcare workers and police personnel, have received the financial assistance since the announcement.
