One of the worst terror wars Mumbai saw on 26/11. Victims have not yet been able to come out of “bhay/trauma”. 174 dead including 26 foreigners, 311 injured. We have once again taken up the task of “relief & rehabilitation”. It is observed that the system get busy in their routine work. Red-tapism takes place. Announcement about financial compensation, medical treatment, surgeries, job, rehabilitation, though looks good, becomes out of reach for the victims. 11th July 2006 Mumbai saw similar terror attack. 187 dead, 1078 victims were forced to struggle, fight for 30 months to get Government announced compensation, medical treatment. In spite of judicial order, yet 10 victims have yet to receive medical surgery/treatment money from Maharashtra Government. It seems the Administration/System have learnt a lesson from the relief and rehabilitation work - strictures, criticism, observation of the Society, judiciary. One IAS officer told me “we do not want to get into trouble with “chakkar” of Court/Human Rights Commission (court cases) for the relief and rehabilitation work. 11th July 2006 has taught us a lesson. We had done follow up of relief & rehab. Of 13th March 2003 Mulund bomb blast and 11th July 2006 bomb blast. Our team has got involved in the follow up of relief & rehab. of 26/11 also. This time Sarkar and Samaj have got emotionally involved, are trying to provide humanitarian angle and healing touch. Let us complete the relief & rehab. work in 3 months, extend humanitarian hand, give healing touch, provide support and encourage to start new life. Dr. KIRIT SOMAIYA 25th December, 2008 1 26/11 - 'HELP CENTER' for Victims Help Centre to provide Relief & Rehabilitation to get Medical Treatment and Financial Compensation is opened for 26/11 victims. We have opened Relief & Rehabilitation Guideline & Help Center to provide all types of help and guidance to the victims and their families. 26/11 terrorist attack has claimed 183 dead including 26 foreigners & 9 terrorists, 311 injured. 137 victims were admitted at J.J. Hospital on 26/11. Out of which 20 are still at JJ. The Center will help the victims get Government financial assistance, will take care to get all the medical treatment, artificial limbs and also jobs as committed by the Government. Usually, the victims and family members get lost in the system. Even after 30 months of the 11th July 2006 bomb blast, several victims have not got the expenses for medical surgeries. The victims are eligible to get following compensation/help : 1. State Government - Financial Compensation – Death / Injured 2. Government of India -Financial Compensation – Death / Injured 3. Medical Treatment 4. Hearing aids and artificial limbs 5. Compensation from Railway Claims Tribunal We have appealed the victims, relatives, citizens to approach Help Center.
