The DMRC will provide a compensation of ₹15 lakh to the next of kin of a woman passenger who died after an accident at a metro station recently, officials said on Wednesday.
In addition, the DMRC shall also take care of the education of her two children, the urban transporter said in a statement.
The incident took place on December 14 at the Inderlok Metro Station here. The 35-year-old woman, Reena, succumbed to injuries at Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday.
She was dragged along the platform as her sari got stuck in the door of a train. The woman is survived by a 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.
According to the provisions in the Metro Railway (Procedure of Claims) Rules, 2017, a compensation of ₹5 lakh shall be paid to the deceased’s next of kin, the statement said.
“In addition, as humanitarian assistance to the children of the deceased, an additional amount of ₹10 lakh shall also be provided. Since the children are both minors, DMRC is currently engaged in sorting out the legal modalities of handing over the amount to the legal heir,” it said.
In addition, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) shall also take care of the education of the two children, the urban transporter said.
