Jammu, October 6

A mega rally of Army veterans was organised by the Crossed Swords Division at Tanda, Akhnoor, on Sunday which draw a huge response.

It gave an opportunity to veterans to solve their pension anomalies, health-related issues and grievances. To make the endeavour meaningful, a holistic approach was adopted wherein more than 3,000 ex-servicemen, widows, ‘veer naris’ and their kin belonging to Akhnoor were felicitated with mobility aids and utility items. The General Officer Commanding, Crossed Swords Division, said no incentive could ever compensate the sacrifice of soldiers and their kin, who had served the motherland. He also reassured the beneficiaries that the Army would always be honoured to look after the well-being of its veterans and their families.
