Nine children lost both their parents in Himachal Pradesh in the brutal second coronavirus wave sweeping the country.
In Kangra, a class 10 boy and his seven-year-old sister lost their mother on April 29 and later their father to Covid on May 5. In Hamirpur district, the teenaged siblings, a brother, and a sister had only one parent. They had lost their father sometime back but now mother died of Covid -19. We are in touch with their uncle and grandparents, who have decided to take care of them. The government will provide assistance under the foster scheme,” said Hamirpur deputy commissioner Debasweta Banik.
