When we think of valour and sacrifice, Punjab stands as a beacon of courage. The soldiers from this remarkable state have selflessly laid down their lives to protect our nation, leaving behind families who bear the weight of their immense sacrifice.


A Strong Commitment to Support


Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab government has made it a priority to stand resolutely by the families of our martyrs. This commitment transcends mere words; it manifests in concrete actions designed to provide meaningful support during their most challenging times.


In a significant move, the government has announced a ₹1 crore assistance package for the families of fallen soldiers. This initiative is not just financial aid; it serves as a vital support system that acknowledges their sacrifices and helps alleviate some of the burdens they face.


Comprehensive Welfare Initiatives


The Maan government is dedicated to enhancing the welfare of all those impacted by the sacrifices of our soldiers. Key initiatives include:


- Increased pensions for war widows, now set at ₹10,000 per month, up from ₹6,000, recognizing the challenges they encounter.


- Enhanced support for Brave soldiers affected by the Blue Star operation, with monthly assistance increased from ₹10,000 to ₹12,000.


- Pensions for war veterans have been doubled from ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 annually, ensuring their well-being is prioritized.


To further bolster these efforts, a robust budget of ₹74 crore has been allocated for veteran welfare in the current fiscal year. This demonstrates a steadfast commitment to ensuring that families of our heroes receive the support they deserve.


A Personal Touch


Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann takes a personal approach by visiting the homes of martyrs’ families to deliver support checks directly. “These brave individuals have made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety. It is our duty to ensure their families receive the care and respect they deserve,” he emphasizes. This hands-on involvement highlights the government’s dedication to fostering a compassionate connection with these families.


A Legacy of Respect and Care


Through these initiatives, the Maan government is not only providing financial assistance but also fostering a culture of respect and gratitude. The emotional and practical support offered ensures that families of our martyrs are uplifted and valued.


In a world where the sacrifices of our soldiers can sometimes be overlooked, the Punjab government is taking proactive steps to honor their memory with dignity. This commitment reflects the deep respect owed to those who have given everything for our nation.


Join Us in Honoring Our Heroes


As we reflect on the sacrifices made by Punjab’s soldiers, let us unite as a community to support their families. Every gesture of kindness and every moment of remembrance reinforces our shared commitment to honoring their legacy.


Together, we can create a future where the contributions of our heroes are recognized and celebrated, ensuring that their families are never left to navigate their grief alone. In Punjab, we are not just remembering our martyrs; we are standing with their families, providing the support and respect they rightfully deserve.
