KTR offers govt job, 2-bedroom house to family of Jaipur Express firing victim of Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao on Friday announced a financial assistance of Rs 2L each for three daughters of Hyderabad resident Syed Saifullah killed in Jaipur Express Terror Attack on Tuesday. This assistance would come from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).

He added that the State Government would also provide the deceased's wife with a job and a two-bedroom house.

Expressing regrets and strongly condemning the communal clash that led to the murder of the Hyderabad resident, KTR said that the entire country knew who ignited riots in Manipur, Haryana and Jaipur. It’s very unfortunate, he observed, stating that he was very much hurt by the killing of an innocent man who had gone there to eke out a living.

Concurring with the indignation of MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, KTR said that he would issue orders regarding employment and two-bedroom house to the widow of the victim tomorrow itself. The government would provide her an employment either in GHMC or HMDA or Quli Qutub Shah Urban Development Authority. Regarding the financial assistance from the Government side, KTR said he would take it up with Chief Minister and get that also.
