State government has decided to open an inter college and a hospital in the native village of Nirbhaya – the gang rape victim December 16, whose parents met Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav here on Thursday.
Badri Singh and Asha Devi held almost half an hour meeting with Chief Minister at his official residence of 5, Kalidas Marg.
Yadav said that on the demand of parents the Government has decided to open an inter college and hospital in Nirbhaya’s village in Ballia. The Government will also open an Asha Jyoti Kendra in Ballia, he said.
On the demand of government job to one of the family members of the family Chief Minister said that government will try its best to fulfill this demand.
Yadav apprised the couple about his government’s decision to protect the lives of women. “My Government has launched 1090 women powerline scheme and this has been a grand success. The women who are harassed get redressal here within few hours,” he said.
Chief Minister had earlier given Rs 20 lakh when Nirbhaya died three years back. He had gone to Ballia to give that cheque a day before Nirbhaya’s tehravin.
