The decision was finalized during a meeting of the State Sainik Board held at Mahanadi Bhawan, Nava Raipur. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai presided over the session, and official orders were later issued. The meeting highlighted the importance of welfare programs for war widows, ex-servicemen, and their dependents.

Government officials explained that the enhanced financial aid aims to recognize the supreme sacrifice of soldiers from Chhattisgarh. The scheme is expected to reduce the economic burden on bereaved families and ensure better social security. Alongside this, discussions were also held on strengthening ongoing welfare schemes for veterans.

The initiative has been widely welcomed. Across the country, praise is being directed toward Chhattisgarh for honoring its soldiers with dignity. By significantly increasing financial assistance, the government has set an example for other states to follow.

Channi said the state government wasn’t serious about flood relief. He argued that political infighting, not the CM’s health, caused the delay in aid. He made these comments while accompanying Bhupesh Baghel, Congress’ Punjab in-charge, on a visit to six flood-hit districts.

Baghel, a former Chhattisgarh CM, flagged off relief material for victims. He pointed out that both the state and central governments had failed in their response. He accused the authorities of withholding key data on flood damages. He also criticized PM Modi for not addressing the crisis on social media.

Channi added that Congress workers were active in relief efforts. He suggested that senior party leaders might soon visit the affected areas.
