Aizawl: Demanding adequate ex-gratia to the next-of-kin of the nine bus passengers electrocuted to death last year in southernmost Mizoram’s Saiha district, Zofa Welfare Organisation has threatened to go to court if the Mizoram government fails to meet its demand soon.
Criticising the arrest of the bus driver and his handyman following the incident, the organisation also demanded compensation of Rs 1 lakh each to the two.
Holding the government responsible for the loose wires, the organisation also demanded appropriate action against the department staff in charge of the area. (UNI)
