A soldier's wife, whoes husband died in Indo-Pak war 1971, was compensated by giving her 5 acres of land. Now the land has been proved to be disputed. Can government do such a great mistake? Unbelievable, but it is a fact. Here is the link:-

Well, it has been proved that the government is only making mistakes so I am not really surprised to read this. But I still feel very sad and sorry for the poor woman who is now be embroiled in a legal battle for no fault of hers. Is Rahul Gandhi going to help her get land elsewhere now? :blink:
The Ministry of Defence pays life long family pension at enhanced rate to widow of a soldier killed in action along with death gratuity and other benefits like army group insurance, deposit linked insurance. These benefits suffice for maintenance of deceased soldier's family and are adequate and statutory compensation. There is no doubt that these would have been paid and family pension is being paid.
But some state governments give extra benefits for cheap publicity. Land is also like that. It is well known that state government politicians and employees are mostly publicity hungry, corrupt and worthless. .

And this is not an old story. This is habiit of corrupt indian officials every where and even a movie named dhoop was made on this which was based on the life of capt anuj nayyar who was killed in kargil war and was allocated a petrol pump on his name and then how their families faced problems for getting what they deserve is really sad. you cna read about it here also

I doubt if he can do that unless he is willing to give some of his own land.This happened in Bihar , so what can he do since their party is not in power there..Even otherwise I doubt if anything would come out of it except verbal assurance ..
