A year after it was announced by the then Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna, the sister of soldier Manoj Rana martyred during duty in Jammu and Kashmir in 2013 has been given a Government job by the State Government.
On Monday, the martyr’s sister Pinky Rana reached the employment exchange office here along with Congress leader Suryakant Dhasmana. She submitted her education certificate, OBC certificate and letter given to her by Uttarakhand Purva Sainik Kalyan Nigam ltd (UPNl) to the regional employment officer Ajay Singh.
After due procedure, an order was issued appointing her to the post of junior clerk in the employment exchange office. Army man Manoj Rana was martyred in action during July 2013 in J&K after which the then CM Vijay Bahuguna had visited his home in Dehradun. The CM had then announced a Government job for Rana’s sister and construction of a gate in his name in the locality.
