New Delhi: The central government in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court said that more than 3,85,000 deaths have been reported from the corona epidemic, which is likely to increase further. Centre said this is higher than the death toll in any other natural calamity in the country in the past. In fact, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of advocates Reepak Kansal and Gaurav Bansal, appealing to the Central and State Governments to direct the Central and State Governments to pay compensation of Rs 4 lakh each under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to the families of those who died from Corona, on which the Supreme court had issued a notice to the Centre seeking a reply.

The Centre in its affidavit filed in the Supreme Court said that the deaths have affected families of all categories, including rich and poor, professional and informal workers, traders and farmers. The Government is fully aware of the need to provide them with the necessary support and support. However, it is not correct to say that such assistance can be provided only through ex-gratia assistance to those who have died.

The Government said that in the present context of the epidemic, it will be a pompous and narrow approach. The broader approach includes health, social security and economic reforms for the affected communities. It will be a more prudent, responsible and long-term approach. Globally, governments of other countries have also followed this approach and made such announcements which provide fiscal stimulus. The affidavit says that the Government of India has taken a similar stand.
