The chief minister provided an ex-gratia payment of Rs 8 lakh to the wife of Bijoy Marak, a teacher who tragically lost his life along with his son Wian Chigado R Marak, when his car was swept away by floodwaters in Rongkhon Songgital in Tura on October 4.

At  Karonggre village in Dalu, the chief minister met the family members and handed over ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakh to the family of 18-year-old Sanira Marak who died due to a landslide.

At Sorokpara village in Dalu, he visited the grieving parents of Miando P Marak, a 5 year-old-boy, who died in a landslide while playing behind their house on Oct 4.
