Shame on the Gujarat government and its administration that its chief minister Vijay Rupani has valued the life of a dead in Surat fire for merely Rs four lakhs.

The Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani has announced Rs four lakh as compensation amount for the bereaved family of each of the dead in the massive fire in Surat Gujarat.

The toll till now has reached to 20 n several others seriously injured. Cases have been registered under relevant sections of IPC against the builder and the owner of the coaching centre for violating the building n fire rules/ by laws.

The furious and highly angered relatives n near n dear ones of the deads have raised anti Modi slogans when the Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani n the health minister reached the spot.

They’ve angerly argued n complained that the administration haven’t responded in time n adequately to save the lives of students trapped in this massive fire as number of the immolated students were constrained to jump from the top floor killing themselves on the spot.

There were not sufficient number of fire tenders and other equipments. The disaster management officials were conspicuous by their absence.

This apathetic behaviour n attitude of Surat administration has resulted in 20 deaths say the furious onlookers and the relatives of those who’d succumbed to fire injuries.

On the top of that the financial compensation announced by the state CM Vijay Rupani was merely Rs 4 lakh for each of the dead which is considered to be a tip of an iceberg or peanuts.

Souds immensely shocking that a government that has been accorded a historic majority by the people of the country n Gujarat exhibits so much of indecency n harsh behaviour towards the deads of the massive Surat fire. There is tremendous opposition n anger in the public for the extremely poor show in saving the fire victims n coming to their rescue in time.
