In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, the armed forces organized a special ceremony in Dibrugarh to honor retired soldiers for their unwavering service to the nation. The event, held at a prominent local venue, saw dozens of ex-servicemen receive recognition for their sacrifices.
Military officials presented commendation certificates and medals to veterans from various regiments who had served in challenging terrains and conflicts. The ceremony wasn’t just about awards; it focused on real support. Authorities announced several welfare schemes tailored for these heroes.
Key facilities rolled out include priority access to healthcare at military hospitals, subsidized housing options under government schemes, and skill development programs for their families. Financial aid packages were also disbursed, covering pension enhancements and educational grants for children of ex-servicemen.
Local dignitaries and family members attended, sharing stories of valor that inspired the young audience. ‘These veterans are the backbone of our security,’ said a senior army officer. The initiative aims to bridge gaps in post-retirement life, ensuring dignified living.
This event underscores the armed forces’ commitment to its retired personnel amid ongoing national security discussions. Similar programs are planned across Assam, signaling a broader welfare push.
