CHANDIGARH, June 6
With a view to ensuring faster dispensation of financial relief to the bereaved families of martyrs, the Haryana Government has decided to delegate the power to grant ex-gratia to the Deputy Commissioners and the Zila Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Officers.
While stating this here today, an official spokesman said that the power to sanction ex-gratia of Rs. 50 lakh has been delegated to Deputy Commissioners so that there is no delay in transit of documents from district office to Headquarters and Vice-versa. He said that it has been observed that often the defence and para-military authorities take some time to issue necessary documentation in cases of death due to enemy action, terrorist encounters and IED blasts. The State Government has, therefore, decided to release ex-gratia financial grants in cases of martyrdom which are widely reported in National media and where the facts are self-evident. In such cases, the state Government has decided not to wait for issue of documents from military and para-military authorities and release the ex-gratia grant immediately.
He said that since November 2014, the state government has offered more than 120 jobs to the next of kin of martyrs in 2016-17 in Group C and D categories.
The State government provides ex-gratia financial compensation of Rs. 50 lakh to the bereaved families. This is the highest amount of ex-gratia for families of martyrs in the country. The State offers the highest amount of financial assistance in the country to the families of the martyrs.
He said that soldiers in defence and paramilitary services bravely defend our country from external aggression and ensure internal security so that the people of India can live, work and sleep in peace. They perform their duty at high risk to their lives.
Haryana is known for its contribution of personnel to the national defence and paramilitary forces. The number of ex-servicemen in the State is more than 2.83 lakh and their dependents’ number is about 8.75 lakh. Besides these, there are 1216 war widows, 85121 widows and their 2,48,099 dependents. There are also 5500 World War II ESM and widows. Large number of our soldiers lay down their life in the service of the nation at the borders, internal security duties, terrorist action and riots.
