Mangaluru: Addressing reporters at Circuit House Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said that the state government has been providing necessary facilities to endosulfan victims. The minister said that the protests conducted by the Endosulfan victims have raised questions as political persons are instigating them for political gains.
"They have been demanding the government to make lump sum payments to the victims in the form of compensation. But the state government’s payment of pensions on monthly basis will not be changed. If large sums are paid, some unauthorised persons may misuse. Foreseeing this possibility, the government has implemented the pension system," Khader said.
"Proper medical treatment is also provided to the victims at speciality hospitals free of cost in case of serious ailments in accordance with memoranda of understanding with the private medical institutions. A total of 200 people have benefited so far. A survey was conducted to identify real endosulfan victims when I was the health minister and the compensation was distributed in a fair manner," he added.
He also said that land has been identified for a permanent rehabilitation centre at Ujire.
