Allwyn D'cunha, a victim of the Mumbai train blasts, is still waiting for the compensation promised by the government. "Nobody has been able to change our lives. Once every year we remember this day and soon forget. The government has still not reimbursed our medical treatment expenses," he said.
"We are not demanding extra money from the government but only what we spent from our own pocket. We are not seeking special help. We had produced all the medical bills, but then too the government has not reimbursed the money," he said.
D'cunha, who was severely injured in at Borivali station, said he had moved the Human Rights Commission and had won the case there.
"The commission directed the government to compensate me immediately. But nothing has happened," the 46-year-old said. "Once every year they (media) remember us, but after that they forget," he lamented.
