Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Monday, March 23, handed over Rs 1 crore cheques each to the families of two government employees who died while on duty.
Revanth presented the accident insurance cheques to the kin of deceased Orsu Suresh and Mukhtar Beg, who worked in the power department.
CM Revanth said the accident insurance coverage applies not only to power sector employees but also to workers of Singareni Collieries Company Limited.
He also praised Telangana Energy Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka for his support to the bereaved families and ensuring timely assistance.
“Under the Rajiv Aarogyasri Scheme, we have increased the coverage limit from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. Also, families identified through the caste survey would receive an insurance scheme covering Rs 5 lakh. These initiatives boost employees’ confidence and offer moral support to their families,” the Chief Minister said.
