The Madhya Pradesh government announced compensation of Rs 1 crore to the family of Ashwini Kumar Kachhi, a soldier from the state who was killed in the attack.
Chief Minister Kamal Nath paid tribute to him and said, “The martyr’s family will receive Rs 1 crore in compensation, a house, and one family member will be offered a government job.”
Several other states on Friday announced compensation for the families of CRPF personnel who were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama on Thursday.
At least 40 CRPF jawans were killed and many others left severely injured after a suicide bomber drove an explosive-laden vehicle into a bus in Lethpora.
The Jaish-e-Mohammed extremist group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which is the second most deadly attack in the history of the paramilitary force.
