HC hikes compensation by 50% for Uttarakhand flood victims
The Uttarakhand High Court on Saturday ordered a 50% hike in compensation to families of the 2013 flood victims. The court also asked the Uttarakhand government to pay ₹7,500 per month to families which lost their sources of income in the floods, for the upbringing of minor children. This came in response to a PIL demanding higher compensation for families.
