Jugal Purohit's video: CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC: Has PM Modi s govt looked after India s healthcare workers

Shanti Devi, a government community health worker in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, died from Covid in May. Her daughter Malti Gangwar said that in the days following her death, the family received several calls from the health department offering condolences. Her late mother's colleagues even urged her to apply for the same job. "There was talk about insurance money and they all seemed very co-operative. They asked me to fill in a form to apply for the job, which I did. But I don't know what happened after that." Four months on, the Gangwars are still waiting. Neither the compensation nor the job have materialised yet. In March 2020, India's federal government promised 5m rupees ($68,000; £50,000) to the family of every health worker who died fighting Covid. But a BBC investigation, based in part on Right to Information requests, shows that a lack of data, bureaucratic hurdles and a discriminatory policy have left many of these families traumatised.
