Mizoram announces Rs 20 lakh for volunteers who die of COVID-19
AIZAWL, April 7: The Mizoram Government has decided to pay an ex gratia of Rs 20 lakh each to the families of local volunteers engaged in COVID-19 duty if they die of the viral infection, an official release stated today.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19 last year, the Mizoram Government had set up Village Level Local Task Forces (VLTF) for villages and Local Level Task Forces for urban areas to check the spread of the virus.

Four of the new patients returned from outside Mizoram, while the remaining four do not have any travel history.
Three of a family are among the new patients and the head of the family is the manager of a hotel in Aizawl.
The eight new cases were detected from 1,149 samples tested on Tuesday.
Mizoram currently has 50 active cases, including 39 in Aizawl, six in Kolasib, three in Hnahthial and two in Champhai.
While 4,447 patients have recovered from the disease, 11 have succumbed to it in the State. - Assam Tribune
