Terrorism victims to get insurance cover

New India Insurance Company has tied up with click2insure.com, an online insurance broking firm, to provide free terrorism insurance cover up to Rs 1 lakh to one lakh policy holders on a promotional basis.

The broking firm promoted this concept after the bomb blasts in Jaipur, when reports poured in that many people who were injured had to have a long wait to receive compensation from the government.

Insurance companies normally provide comprehensive fire policy cover for households and commercial establishments which also include cover for terror attacks.
