Mumbai, Feb. 17 -- Relatives of Ramdhani Yadav, who was killed on Saturday when a portion of the parapet at a metro rail construction site in Mulund came crashing down, on Monday collected his body from Rajawadi Hospital after accepting a compensation of Rs.39.5 lakh. The amount included Rs.15 lakh from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and Rs.24.5 lakh from Milan Road Buildtech, the subcontractor for the site engaged by Reliance-Astaldi, the main contractor. The family had earlier refused to collect Yadav's body, demanding Rs.2 crore and a job for one of his daughters as compensation. As reported by HT on February 16, the MMRDA on Sunday announced Rs.20 lakh compensation - including Rs.5 lakh ex-gratia from the state government and Rs.15 lakh from the development authority, which the family rejected saying it was grossly inadequate to cover their needs. After the overall amount was hiked to Rs.39.5 lakh on Monday, excluding ex-gratia from the state government, Sashikant Yadav, a relative of the deceased, said, "The company agreed to compensate us as we threatened to file a case against them. The money will help his (Ramdhani Yadav's) daughters and wife." Anjali Yadav, 22, the deceased's eldest daughter, wondered why the MMRDA did not provide "fair compensation" to accident victims even though it imposed hefty fines on contractors who flouted rules. Referring to the amount paid to them as "tokenistic", she said, "We urge chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to increase the compensation to Rs.2 crore. If required, we are ready to meet him personally and explain why this amount is necessary." Ramdhani Yadav was the sarpanch of Bharthani village in Uttar Pradesh. He was killed when a portion of the parapet at a Metro 4 bridge construction site in Mulund crashed into an auto and a private car on Saturday. The sarpanch was travelling in the auto with two others who are still under treatment. Later on Saturday, the police arrested five persons in connection with the incident, including representatives of Milan Road Buildtech and Hill International Inc, the general consultant for the project. On Sunday morning, family members of the deceased and members of the Yadav community protested near the accident site, seeking adequate compensation. The crowd later moved to Mulund police station, followed by the offices of sitting MLA Mihir Kotecha and former MP Manoj Kotak, who held discussions with relatives of the deceased and community members. Discussions remained inconclusive on Sunday, they resumed on Monday. The talks ended with Milan Road Buildtech agreeing to pay Rs.24.5 lakh, in addition to Rs.15 lakh from the MMRDA. The family was then handed over two cheques, while the Rs.5 lakh from the state is awaited. Around 3pm, they collected Yadav's body from the Rajawadi Hospital. The body will be flown to Varanasi at 7am on Tuesday....
