Gas tanker tragedy: Special Cabinet meet on Sept 3



THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A special cabinet session will be convened on September 3 to discuss compensation to the victims of the gas tanker tragedy in Kannur. A decision would be taken only after holding discussions and reviewing of relief measures with various heads of departments in Kannur District, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said. "All victims of the gas tanker tragedy will be provided with necessary assistance. Treatment would be provided at hospitals as suggested by the relatives of the victims. It is a sad thing that the casualty number has gone up despite ensuring all the required help. Because of this, a team of medical college doctors have been deputed to observe those undergoing treatment and provide timely help to ensure their well-being. Instructions have been given to avoid delay resulting from preparing of inquests and post-mortem of the dead," he said.
