Later, as in this case, it was found that there were many more victims seriously affected by the poisonous gases. Therefore, when the case was prepared, compensation was paid to the entire city. People got their money by being "affected" by the gas leak and even many claims were filed, representing about 70% of the population of the place. The families of the deceased received Rs 2-3 lakh as compensation and others also received money, but they were classified as 'injured'. The government even reduced the amount that was paid over six years to relieve the company. The final agreement came to Rs. 15,000 per person affected in any way. This deal has done no good for victims, whose medical bills continue to mount and many have claimed the total death was not accounted for, but the government has refused to reopen the compensation settlement case . Eventually, hope for relief was generated in 2010, where a group of ministers confirmed that they would only grant compensation to victims already accounted for. They increased the amount to Rs. 10 lakhs for death cases and Rs. 1 to 5 lakhs for people who become disabled and suffering from cancer and others
