New Delhi: The Delhi government on Thursday distributed monetary relief to the families of five persons killed and nine injured in a building collapse incident in Vishnu Garden area of West Delhi last week.
The AAP government gave Rs 2 lakh to the families of four persons and Rs 1 lakh to the family of a 9-year old girl who were killed in the incident.
