The time limit for processing compensation applications and payment to the victims has also been fixed, said chief minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini in a press conference here.

The treatment expenditure will be borne from the Haryana Road Safety Fund. Apart from this, a district-level committee will be formed to properly implement this scheme at the district level.

Saini said a payment order of compensation will be issued within 15 days of the submission of the report by the inquiry commissioner.

Meanwhile, the state government launched a portal for the mine and geology department to help farmers and small traders obtain online permits related to soil utilisation of the field.

The permit fee of ₹200 has also been waived in the case of farmers. Saini said small traders involved in the business of excavating and transporting clay can also obtain permission through this portal.
