The amount would be sent to the Manipur government, Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh told a delegation led by Manipur Education Minister Francis Gajopa, which met him in Mumbai on Thursday.
The government would also bear the medical expenditure of Nagakuimi, the other Manipuri girl with Choan who was injured in the attack, he said.
