Poverty-stricken war hero gets award
by Dev Kumar on Mar 12, 2008 09:09 PM

I am surprised that Bana Singh is getting a pension of only Rs. 100. No government servant gets such a measly pension today. If Bana Singh has done the minimum pensionable service then he has to be getting the pension as per his last rank. Could rediff check and let readers know?
It is sad if political parties use war heroes to score brownie points on each other.

Lastly, I notice his rank is mentioned as 'Naik Subedar' there is no such rank in the army. I am sure that you meant 'Naib Subedar'.
