The central government has given a big gift to bravery award winners and their families. According to the new order of the Modi government, soldiers who have received bravery medals from the Army, Air Force, and Navy will now get the benefit of lifelong free train travel. They will avail this facility in First Class, 2AC, and AC Chair Car categories, and under this, they can also take one companion along for the journey. This step has been taken with the aim of honoring their courage and contribution.
This facility is not limited to award winners only, but their families will also benefit from it. According to the new order, spouses of bravery medal winners — whether they are widows, widowers, or remarried — will be able to avail this facility. Furthermore, if the award winner was unmarried and honored posthumously, their parents can also travel free by train for life.
This step by the central government is considered a symbol of respect and gratitude towards the soldiers and their families. Its objective is not only to recognize bravery award winners but also to provide social and economic support to their families.
This initiative will not only boost the morale of army personnel and their families but will also inspire youth to join the service of their country and contribute to the armed forces. It is considered part of the government’s policies that prioritize the welfare and honor of the armed forces.
Overall, this decision is a symbol of the nation’s gratitude and respect towards those brave soldiers who dedicated everything for the country’s security.
