Rayate Bridge Accident Relief Reaches Eight Victim Families
A serious crash happened on Rayate Bridge in April.
A passenger vehicle hit a cement mixer, and 11 people died.
The government promised money to help the families of those who died.
Eight families have now received ₹5 lakh each.
The money came from two government relief funds.
Three families have not received their money yet.
They still need to provide some documents.
Officials are working to finish the paperwork and send the payments.
Families of eight of the 11 people killed in the Rayate Bridge accident received ₹5 lakh each.
The accident occurred in April when a private passenger vehicle collided with a cement mixer.
Each payment combines ₹3 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and ₹2 lakh from the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.
Relief for the families of Anant Pawar, Ganesh Gurav and Rinku Lodhi remains pending because required documents have not been submitted.
Officials have asked the Kalyan tehsildar to complete the documentation process so the remaining payments can be credited.
