New endosulfan victims’ list dashes hopes of patients [1]

The re-categorised list of endosulfan victims in 11 panchayats of the district has shattered the hopes of many patients, who were under the impression that the government’s decision to pay the compensation recommended by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) would end their woes to some extent. The rehabilitation package, though not a rightful compensation for many who cannot even get out of their beds, could have been a relief.

Janu Naik, 64, who committed suicide by consuming poison at his residence in Bellur on Monday, was one among them. According to health officials who knew Janu Naik, he was very disappointed to know that his name was not included in the fresh list.
