Minister Kirori Lal Meena said on the issue of death due to convection, why hide the statistics when no compensation is given.
People are suffering due to scorching heat in Rajasthan. Many have died from heat stroke. The opposition parties are attacking the government in this regard. Congress accuses the government of concealing figures of heat stroke deaths. State Disaster Management Minister Kirori Lal Meena has issued a major statement on the matter. Kirori Lal Meena said that the health department has released the statistics of 5 deaths due to heat stroke. The cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem. There is no provision for compensation in the event of a heat wave in a national disaster. So, if we hide statistics, why hide them? I will talk to the Chief Minister. Compensation should be given to those who die due to heat stress. Govind Singh Dodasara of Rajasthan Congress has accused the government of concealing the figures of heatstroke deaths as 'the government is committing a sin in avoiding compensation'. He has committed this sin by not paying compensation after the High Court order. Bodies of 40 unidentified people have arrived at SMS Hospital in Jaipur after they died due to heat wave. 20-25 bodies of unidentified people arrive there every day. The situation is dire across the state: Dodasara said the government settles cases after post-mortems to avoid compensation. These figures are from SMS Hospital. There is a tense situation all over the state. The Rajasthan High Court has ordered compensation to the family of the victim in the heat stroke case. Considering the current situation, the Rajasthan High Court has directed the Rajasthan government to issue instructions to the workers to rest from 12 noon to 3 pm. Alert people through SMS, FM radio, mobile app, television, print and electronic media to warn about extreme heat.
