PMC to provide ₹25 lakh compensation to families of temporary employees who passed away due to Covid

The PMC has allocated ₹2.75 crore to compensate the families of the 11 contract employees. Municipal Commissioner Rajendra Bhosale confirmed this allocation, stating, “PMC standing committee had approved ₹2.75 crore for giving compensation to the relatives of the employees who were on contract.”

Some relatives of the deceased employees had previously received ₹50,000 as immediate relief from PMC. When issuing the next round of compensation, PMC will deduct this amount and release the remaining balance to ensure the total compensation matches the promised ₹25 lakh.

This move reflects PMC’s effort to support the families of its employees who faced severe losses during the pandemic.
