Guwahati: The Indian Army has taken a significant step in ensuring that the family of a fallen soldier receives the honor and support they deserve.
The Tamulpur Brigade recently facilitated the restoration of the family pension for Biwari Boro, the mother of late guardsman Barun Chandra Boro.
Despite losing her son in service to the nation, Biwari Boro faced an arduous three-year wait after her rightful pension was halted in 2021 due to procedural lapses following the demise of her husband.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Tamulpur Brigade intervened during a veterans’ outreach programme, working diligently to resolve the bureaucratic hurdles that had prevented the pension from being disbursed.
With sustained coordination between the Regimental Centre and the concerned bank, the necessary documentation was rectified, leading to the successful reinstatement of her pension.
As a result of relentless efforts spanning nearly a year, ₹17 lakh in arrears was credited to her account, and her monthly pension was restored.
