315th Sainik Rest House opens in Delhi

New Delhi, July 23

Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday inaugurated the 315th Sainik Rest House of the Kendriya Sainik Board (KSB) here aimed to provide facilities for former servicemen.

The minister expressed hope that the rest house, built at Naraina tri-junction near Delhi Cantonment area in west Delhi at a cost of around Rs 8 crore, would be the beginning of an initiative.

“The KSB will be able to expand on these in the years to come so that such facilities become an integral part of facilities for ex-servicemen,” Jaitley said. He praised the armed forces for upkeep of the facilities. “The facilities which have been created are extremely hygienic and very liveable.” — IANS
