Doda, January 15

As the nation celebrates the 70th Army Day, the Army in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district celebrated the day with its ex-servicemen. The basic objective behind organising the event was to resolve the problems of veterans, which they usually face after retirement.

The Commanding Officer, 10 Rashtriya Rifles, was chief guest at the event who welcomed and addressed the guests after paying homage to the martyrs. He highlighted various schemes launched by the Army for ex-servicemen and asked veterans to avail the benefits.

“More than 50 veterans from different parts of Doda participated in the event, where guidance was given to them about the new schemes launched for ex-servicemen so that they can avail the benefits. Apart from this, their other issues of pension and documentation were also heard,” a senior Army officer said.
