Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Sunday visited village Thana Kalan in Sonipat to express condolences to the family members of martyr Narender Singh.
“The State Government would provide government job to a member of the family of martyr and an ex-gratia amount of Rs 50 lakh has been transferred to their account. Apart from this, OBC bank would also provide financial help of Rs 2.21 lakh which would be deposited in the account of martyrs' family through RTGS,” said the Chief Minister.
He said that martyr Narender Singh sacrificed his life for the country and today we are with the family in their hour of grief.
The country is proud of Narender Singh, he said.
The mutilated body of Singh, the Border Security Force's (BSF) Head constable, was found on last Tuesday, hours after Pakistani forces had resorted to unprovoked firing in Ramgarh sector of Jammu.
The Chief Minister said that the government school in the village would be named after the name of Shaheed Narendra Singh. Apart from this, a memorial and shaheed pravesh dawar would also be set up in the name of the martyr, he added.
