An Ex-Servicemen Rally under the ‘Atoot Bandhan’ initiative was organised by Assam Terriers in Silchar on September 28 to strengthen engagement with veterans and address their welfare-related concerns.
Around 75 participants, including Veer Naris, ex-servicemen and veterans from various arms and services, attended the rally.
During the event, participants raised and discussed issues related to pensions, documentation, welfare schemes and other entitlements. Representatives of the unit interacted with the veterans and provided assistance in resolving their concerns and facilitating access to various welfare benefits.
The initiative reaffirmed the Indian Army’s commitment to the welfare of its veterans and their families, while strengthening the enduring bond between serving personnel and the veteran community under the ethos of ‘Once a Soldier, Always a Soldier’.
