Darjeeling rains: Every area of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration cut off, no road connectivity, says official

Lucknow, Oct 7 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the state government will ensure that in case of a sanitation worker's death, arrangements are made to provide a compensation of Rs 35–40 lakh through banks.

Addressing members of the Valmiki community at the Maharshi Valmiki Prakat Diwas function organised at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan here, the chief minister said, “Your security is the society’s security, and your honour is the honour of Maharshi Valmiki’s legacy.” Adityanath announced that the state government is bringing major reforms for sanitation and contractual employees.

“From now on, sanitation and contractual workers will not be paid through outsourcing agencies. The payment will be made directly by a government corporation into their bank accounts,” he said.
