JAMMU, Dec 20: While supporting Governor’s statement made in a function organized by Sainik Welfare Board in Jammu on Wednesday, calling for giving all moral and material support to families of martyrs, NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today apprised him of the failure of his Govt in fulfilling its obligations towards the family of Sub Inspector Imran Tak of Basantgarh who was martyred in November 2017 while fighting armed militants.
Singh regretted that not only were the dues of the valiant soldier’s family unpaid till date but the SRO-43 case of the family had also been kept pending for the last one year leading to untold hardships for the family. Likewise, he regretted non fulfilment of the announcement made by the top civil and police administration for conferment of ‘Shaurya Chakra’ Award on the brave-heart Imran Tak posthumously. He said that martyrs and their families deserved honour not only in letter but in spirit as well.
Strongly admonishing the State Govt for being abominably callous towards the State martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the motherland, Singh urged upon the Governor to settle all claims and dues of all families of brave-hearts who made the supreme sacrifices for the nation and its flag.
