The Madhya Pradesh government has sanctioned financial assistance of ₹5 lakh to the tribal, on whom a man had urinated in Sidhi district, and provided an additional sum of ₹1.5 lakh for the construction of his house, an official said on Friday.
The financial help comes a day after Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan washed the feet of the victim, Dashmat Rawat, at his residence in Bhopal and also apologised to him over the humiliating incident.
On the Chief Minister's directives, financial assistance of ₹5 lakh and an additional aid of ₹1.5 lakh (total ₹6.5 lakh) for the construction of house have been sanctioned for Rawat, the Sidhi district collector said.
