Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami congratulated everyone on Shaurya Diwas. Said that the Indian Army showed patience, unprecedented courage in adverse circumstances and drove away the enemy. The heroic saga of Kargil is incomplete without the heroes of Uttarakhand.
The result of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s efficient leadership
Said that there was a time when we used to win on the battlefield but lost at the table. But the result of the efficient leadership of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was that in the Kargil war we won both in the battlefield and on the table. Today the army has been strengthened by the efforts of Prime Minister Modi. Its fame and glory have also increased in the world. Today the whole world is looking towards India. There was a time when India was not able to defend itself on global platforms. But today the country has become strong. If India says something, the world listens carefully. Today the army answers bullets with shells. The army does not have to wait for orders. It kills the enemy by entering his home. The government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has modernized the army and also increased the facilities of the soldiers. The state government is also committed to the welfare of the soldiers. Agniveers will be accommodated in various services.
The Chief Minister announced
The ex-gratia grant amount given to martyr soldiers in the state will be increased from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 50 lakh.
The period for applying for government jobs for the family members of martyr soldiers will be increased from 02 years to 05 years.

Contract workers working in Sainik Welfare Department will be given leave like Upanal workers.
