Majhi had carried body of his wife on shoulder on August 24 after having been denied a hearse by the hospital authorities at Bhawanipatna.
Though he requested the hospital staff that he could not afford to hire a vehicle to transport the body of his wife, all turned deaf ears to his plea forcing him to carry the body on shoulder.
So far, sources said, Majhi has got Rs 30,000 and a sack of rice from the district administration of Kalahandi and promises of admission in a residential tribal school for his three daughters (Chandini-12, Chauli-10 and seven-year-old Sonai). Majhi has also another daughter from his late first wife who is married.
This apart, Majhi has also been assured a pucca house under the 'Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana' and inclusion under the National Family Benefit Scheme.
