Quest for Justice: Widow's Battle for Compensation After Husband's Tragic Death in Niger

Yashoda Devi, widow of Ganesh Karmali killed in Niger, struggles to gain fairness in compensation. Despite having an insurance of Rs 40 lakh, her family received nothing. Karmali's low payout raises questions on employer's compensation policy. The family seeks justice through legal channels, facing bureaucratic challenges.

Yashoda Devi, the widow of Ganesh Karmali who was tragically killed in Niger, finds herself in a desperate battle to secure fair compensation following her husband's death. Despite an insurance policy that promised Rs 40 lakh, Devi's family has received no payout, leaving them in financial uncertainty.

Ganesh Karmali, a native of Jharkhand's Bokaro district, was the sole breadwinner for his family. Devi stated that the company's compensation of Rs 10 lakh is inadequate given the family's needs and the higher amounts given to others. She highlighted disparities in compensation based on employee positions as adding to their plight.

In response to their predicament, Devi has reached out for help, but assistance has been minimal—with local authorities offering limited support. As Karmali's family seeks justice, they face numerous barriers, including missing documentation and logistical challenges to accessing legal recourse.
