CHANDIGARH: Making an exception to the State Government’s existing ‘Policy of Appointments of Honour and Gratitude’, the Punjab Cabinet on Wednesday okayed amendment to rules to provide jobs in the state services to married siblings of three bachelor battle casualties of the Galwan Valley.
The decision has been taken by the Captain Amarinder Singh Government in recognition of the supreme sacrifice made by Sepoy Gurtej Singh, Sepoy Gurbinder Singh and L/Nk Saleem Khan. As per existing rules, only dependent family members or next of kin of the battle casualties were eligible for jobs, but in the case of these three men, since no dependent family member existed, the Government decided to make an exception and give jobs to their married brothers.
