Calls Intensify for Action on Sudden Deaths Documentation and Compensation

During a session in the Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party MP Ramashankar Rajbhar voiced serious concerns over the alarming rise in unexpected deaths affecting individuals across different age brackets.

Speaking passionately during the Zero Hour, Rajbhar highlighted incidents from his constituency, Salempur, where such sudden deaths have shocked the community, ranging from a cricketer collapsing after hitting a six to a wedding guest dying while dancing. Tragically, these fatalities include children, drivers, and the elderly.

Criticizing the government's inaction and the absence of systematic documentation, Rajbhar implored the central government to investigate these occurrences and urged for compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the families affected. He stressed that a monitoring system is crucial to address this escalating issue effectively.
