Condoling the death of the pilgrims, who hailed from the state's Maharajganj district, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav announced the financial assistance, an official said.
At least 39 pilgrims, mostly from Uttar Pradesh, were killed when the overcrowded bus carrying 100 to 120 Hindu pilgrims to a temple in Nawalparasi district in Nepal skidded off a slippery road and plunged into a flooded canal.
