As promised in the Assembly on Friday, Industries Minister KT Ramarao extended support to the family of Syed Saifuddin, a resident of Hyderabad, who was killed in the shooting incident on the Jaipur-Mumbai train on July 31.
The government appointed the late Saifuddin’s wife Anjum Shaheen as an Office Subordinate in the Quli Qutub Shah Urban Development Authority, sanctioned a 2BHK flat, and provided an ex-gratia of Rs 6 lakh from the BRS.
The plight of the deceased’s family was brought to the notice of the government by AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in the Assembly. Keeping their financial conditions in view, the Legislator requested the government to help the family.
Responding to Akbaruddin’s request, KTR promised to help the family by offering a job to the victim’s wife, a 2BHK flat, and on behalf of the BRS, KTR also announced an ex-gratia of Rs 6 lakh.
Keeping his word, the Minister handed over the appointment letter, a cheque for Rs 6 lakh and an allotment order for a 2BHK flat at Jiyaguda to Anjum Shaheen on the Assembly’s premises on Saturday. Home Minister Mahmood Ali and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi were present on the occasion.
Saifuddin, a mobile phone technician, was a resident of AC Guards in Hyderabad and was the sole breadwinner of his family. Saifuddin is one of the four victims of the firing incident on the Jaipur-Mumbai train in which an RPF constable indiscriminately shot four persons dead.
