On Friday, September 29, the Haryana government announced a significant aid package worth Rs 4 crore to the family of the Indian Army soldier who was killed in Pakistani shelling in Rajouri's Manjakote. This announcement was a part of the state government's initiative to support the families of martyrs, dubbed Operation Sindoor.
The recent border clashes with Pakistan in the Manjakote sector of Rajouri, a district in Jammu and Kashmir, have brought attention to the critical role that our soldiers play in maintaining peace in such turbulent situations.
One of the recent incidents of the operation included a mortar bomb attack in which a soldier from the Haryana Regiment, Hemraj, was martyred. He was unfortunately killed in the line of duty.
The state government has announced that this financial assistance will be given to the martyr's family under the Ashirvaad scheme, which is a part of Operation Sindoor. It is an initiative to provide financial assistance to the families of martyrs from the state who lay down their lives in the line of duty.
The decision to announce this aid package was made during a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. The Chief Minister also declared that if any civilian loses their life in the line of duty, such as doctors, nurses, or healthcare workers, they will be awarded Rs 1 crore under the same initiative.
This decision has received praise from many, including Army Chief General M M Naravane, who expressed his gratitude to the state government for this initiative. With this move, the Haryana government has demonstrated its commitment to honoring the invaluable service and sacrifice of those who serve the nation.
It is important to acknowledge the sacrifice of martyrs and to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Late Hemraj. May his soul rest in peace.
