Speaking to reporters after meeting the families of the three youths killed on Aug 27, Akhilesh Yadav who has been criticised for not doing enough to control the conflagration, termed the outbreak of violence "very sad".
He said his government will provide justice to the victims and take strong action against all those who took part in the violence.
The chief minister announced Rs.10 lakh each to the next of kin of those killed and a government job to a member of the family.
Kawaal village is where an alleged incident of sexual harassment on Aug 27 led to three youths being killed.
A 'mahapanchayat' or gathering of village councils was held a few days later, which led to communal clashes in Muzaffarnagar and nearby areas, forcing the government to call in the army to control the situation.
