Though families of the deceased have got their compensation Even after six months of the Carlton Tower fire accident the injured are yet to receive their promised compensation from the government. The injured were shifted to the nearby Manipal hospital for treatment. Though the government gave Rs 2 lakh to the families of the deceased, it is yet to distribute Rs 50,000 to the injured as promised. Some of the injured are yet to recover from the trauma. Manisha Ramakrishnan (40) has undergone surgery two months ago. u00a0 <table style="width: 63px; height: 50px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="63" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/aug/singer.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr> <tr> <td> Beyond Carlton, a Facebook group, paid a candlelight tribute to the nine victims of the tragedy on Saturday</td></tr></tbody></table> "Manisha who was working with Aureus India Limited at Carlton Towers was seriously injured. Even after two surgeries, she can't speak properly and her voice is very feeble. u00a0 A small hole is made in her throat and a tube is fixed to breathe and the procedure is called 'Tracheotomy'. If she has to speak, she has to close the tube. This is her condition," said her friend Salil. Beyond Carlton, a Facebook group, has more than 1,000 people registered and has 30 active members. Every last week of the month, these members conduct fire awareness programmes. Nitin Dubey, a survivor, and the member of the trust said, "Many corporates have tied up with us. Last week we held a camp at Thompson Reuters. At the end of every session, we have an interactive session on fire safety and quiz and share experiences from that fateful day." "Our group was successful in getting compensation from the government for the families of the deceased. They approached and submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister in May, and the very next day the compensation was distributed. But the injured are still waiting for the compensation. The number of injured were more than 65, but the government has to define exactly who the real injured are with the help of the hospital records," said Dubey. The case is still waiting for a trail. The group has paid a candlelight tribute to the nine victims of the tragedy on Saturday. The event will be followed by an unplugged musical evening at Forum Value Mall, Whitefield.
