The
Kerala government on Wednesday decided to provide a one-time financial assistance of Rs 1000 each to as many as 5,287 Endosulfan victims in the Kasaragod district.
A cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan, decided to give away aid to those victims, who are getting pensions through the
Kerala Social Security Mission, a CMO statement said here.
The decision was taken days after the government gave assurance to meet the demands of social activist
Daya Bai, who held a hunger strike here in solidarity with the victims.
The cabinet also decided to formulate a common framework for the salary structure of public sector organisations in the state, the statement said adding that the recommendations of the expert panel, which conducted a study in this regard, were accepted.
A decision was also taken to recommend to the Governor to appoint M R Biju as the new chairman of the
Kerala Public Service Commission, the CMO statement added.
