This was stated by Minister in charge General Administration while replying to a query tabled by MLA Mohammad Khalil Bandh.
Under this shift, the government said, the new policy will have a choice for next of kin (NoK), either to accept a compensation of Rs 4 Lakh or a job. Earlier, under SRO-43 government job was provided to the next of the kin.
