10. The dependents of the employees were flown from
outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care of in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all
accommodated in the Hotel President for three weeks. 11. Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents for
immediate feedback about what they wanted and needed
him to do. 12. In a record time of only twenty days, a new trust was
created by the Tatas for the purpose of providing relief
for employees. 13. What is unique is that even the other people, the railway
employees, the police staff, and the pedestrians —who had nothing to do with the Tatas —were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence
allowance of Rs. 10K per month for six months. 14. The four-year old granddaughter of a vendor was
struck by four bullets and only one was removed in the Government hospital. She was taken to Bombay hospital and several lakh rupees were spent by the Tatas on her to
enable her full recovery. 15. New handcarts were provided to several vendors who lost
their carts. 16. Tata took responsibility for the life education of forty-six
children of the victims of the terror. 17. This was the most trying period in the life of the
organization. Senior managers, including Ratan Tata, were visiting funeral to funeral over the three days that were
most horrible. 18. The settlement for every deceased individual ranged from
Rs. 36 to 85 lakhs (one lakh rupees translates to approx.. 2000 US$) in addition to the following benefits: a. Full salary for life for the family and dependents; b. Complete responsibility of education of children and
dependents – anywhere in the world.
