VETERANS OUTREACH PROGRAM HELD AT HAMIRPUR ON 23 MAR 2019

Jalandhar, March 23, 2019: An outreach program for veterans was organised by Double Victory Brigade at Hamirpur on 23 Mar 2019. A large number of Ex-Servicemen, Widows and Veer naris participated in the event organised on behalf of the Vajra Corps. A team of Officers and Junior Commissioned Officers led by Colonel Veteran participated from the Army’s side and attended to the problems being faced by the Veterans related to pension, ECHS cards and Canteen Smart Cards. Grievances and concerns of the veterans were discussed in an interactive session. There was healthy participation from both the sides that saw many people reaching the location from far flung areas of District Hamirpur. A large number of problems were addressed on the spot and noted down for follow up action with various institutions like Records Offices, District Soldier Boards and Pension Disbursing Offices/Banks. The event was also a platform to motivate youth who wish to join the Army.
