Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday met those injured in a road accident in Udaipur district earlier this week and enquired about their condition and treatment.

Seven people were killed and over 10 injured after an overloaded jeep they were travelling in fell into a gorge near Nandeshwar Mahadev temple in Udaipur on Wednesday.

कलेक्टर को निर्देश दिए हैं कि बहुत गरीब परिवार के लोग हैं, आपने 1-1 लाख रूपये मृतकों के परिजनों को दिए हैं, आप 1-1 लाख रूपये और दीजिये साथ ही जो घायल हैं उन्हें 20 हजार रूपये के बजाय 50 हजार रूपये की सहायता राशि प्रदान करें।
