GOP had given only 25000 Rs per family ,which is joke with them , proper estimation of loss of life and property is required to compensate IDPs.

25000 is not compensation. it was only given to them so that they could carry on with their lives.
reconstruction phase is still to start. and ppl will start gettin compensation once this current phase (return) comes to an end.
