CM announces Rs 5 lakhs ex gratia to fire victims

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday announced an ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the families of three persons from the state who died in the recent Kuwait fire incident.
T Lokanadam from Sompeta in Srikakulam district and M Satyanarayana and M Eswarudu from Peravali in East Godavari district died in the incident.
“Naidu is monitoring this matter closely and instructed relevant departments to coordinate and ensure the smooth transportation of the mortal remains of the deceased (persons) to their native places,” said an official press release.
Satyanarayana and Eswarudu were mistaken to be from West Godavari district earlier but they belong to East Godavari district.
