Sir,
We tend to forget our heroes of yesteryears who might have contributed a lot to bring honour and prestige to this country. It is further deplorable that the Government too, including the NGOs mushroomed over the years too do not care for such people. A glaring example is of Gyan Chand a resident of Pishwalian Mandi in Samba District having remained twice a National champion , a good performer in Asian games and Olympic events, is down with paralysis and reduced to a penury.
Neither the State nor the Central Government have cared to take care for this ex- hero from our State and of our country. An arch marksman, Gian Chand has trained scores in the art of shooting in his life time and has earned medals for this country. He deserves and all like him, honour from the State and the Centre plus all monetary assistance that he may be in need of. We are respecting our great country if we respect those who brought laurels for this country.
Yours etc…..
