New Delhi, Sep 26 (TIWN) To pace up the financial assistance scheme to the dependents of those who have lost their lives due to Covid-19, the Delhi government officials will visit the applicants' address to verify and collect the required documents.

So far, around 8,000 applications have been filed under Mukhyamantri Covid-19 Pariwar Aarthik Sahayata Yojana, out of which less than 50 per cent belong to the Health Department's list of 25,000 cases.  This pool has also been assigned with the task of informing the family member, whose address they are visiting, about the scheme and assist them in filling up the application form.  To reach out to the affected families, a list from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) was shared by the government with all 11 districts.  This exercise has been given a time frame of seven days for completion.  If the applicant does not want to avail the benefits of the scheme or is not available at home, then the same may be recorded by the official concerned, the order added.
