Rs 1 lakh will be given by the state government to the injured. An ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakhs will be given to the next of kin of each deceased by the state government. Three injured have been airlifted to AIIMS Rishikesh, out of which the condition of the injured is stable…The incident is very unfortunate…Proper steps will be taken to ensure that these kinds of incidents don’t take place in the future,” he said.
