While the entire nation is mourning the martyrdom of 42 valiant soldiers of Central Reserve Police Force who’ve been martyred at Avantipora in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamalnath has while paying his heartfelt tributes to the jawans who sacrificed their precious lives in the line of duty has announced a financial compensation of Rs. One Crore, a house and a government job to next of the kin of one of it’s soldiers belonging to Madhya Pradesh.

The chief minister Kamalnath was forthright in announcing the financial compensation with a house n a govt job to the next of the kin of the deceased soldier of CRPF. As per the latest reports about 41 soldiers have been martyred in the Pulwama attack in Awantipora, Kashmir and several others, probably five or six critically injured under treatment in govt hospitals.

Maximum number of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves in this high intensity fidayeen attack belong to various districts of Uttar Pradesh followed by Bihar, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Himachal Pradesh n Uttarakhand. This is the biggest fidayeen attack of 2019 while in 2016 too a paramilitary convoy was attacked by terrorists killing more than fifteen personels of the security forces followed by the URI attack in the CRPF camp claiming about nineteen precious lives.

Though no amount of financial compensation can compensate for the irreperable losses of precious lives of our valiant jawans but the hard fact of life is that their hapless families had to ultimately survive and nurture their respective families who’d lost their beloved father, son, brother or a near n dear ones. Hence adequate financial compensation with entire service benefits including pension and housing facilities are mandatory for the bereaved families who’d lost their only earning member of the family.

There is no denying a fact that our troopers in borders, hinterlands n on mountains secure our country by confronting the enemies under extremely odd n challenging situations and sacrifice their lives while securing the lives of 125 crore Indians.

Therefore no amount of financial compensation can match with the myriad amount of sacrifices they make for our country.

It is believed that the chief ministers of other states follow suit and immediately announce compensation of Rs one crore, a house and a government job for next of the kin of the slained soldiers in the Pulwama attack. We fondly remember that during the tenure of Atal Behari Vajpayee as PM every Kargil martyr’s family was sanctioned a Petrol Pump n cheap housing facility in Dwarka in order to help the bereaved families survive in comfort after having lost their near and dear ones’ in the Kargil battle of 1999.

Similar Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejrival too had sanction Rs. one crore each to two policement who died while on duty and an ex servicemen. Meanwhile according to the latest news the government of Jammu n Kashmir which is under president’s rule n government of India has withdrawn the security of all the Hurriyat Conference leaders who’d been directly or indirectly allegedly aiding n abetting the home grown terrorists against India and working a Pakistan’s proxies against India’s interests. What’s your take friends?
