Is this odd or what.
Villagers in India’s Andamans and Nicobar Islands have denounced ‘paltry’ tsunami compensation relief they have received from the local government.
One woman received a cheque of just two rupees (less than five US cents) for damage to her coconut crops.
The islands’ chief administrator has now conceded that “ridiculous” cheques have been sent out to tsunami victims.
Thousands of islanders were killed in the 26 December Indian Ocean tsunami and many survivors were made homeless.
India’s central government promised millions of dollars worth of aid to the Andamans after the tsunami.
