DC assures swift support to freedom fighters’ kin

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Himanshu Jain on Thursday reaffirmed the district administration’s unwavering commitment to the welfare and support of freedom fighters’ families.

Addressing the kin of the national heroes during a meeting in his office, Jain emphasised that the administration was dedicated to promptly resolving their concerns and ensuring their well-being.

“The nation owes an immense debt to our freedom fighters, whose sacrifices secured our independence,” he stated.

“Their contributions are beyond measure and it is our duty to honour and support their families with the utmost respect and care,” he said.

The DC assured the families that they could directly approach him with any issues, assuring that their grievances would be addressed swiftly. He emphasised that all district government offices would extend full respect and priority to these families, underscoring that any inconvenience to them would not be tolerated.

“We enjoy freedom today due to the sacrifices made by their loved ones,” he added.

Highlighting state’s pivotal role in nation’s freedom struggle, Jain said Punjabis were at the forefront, with many freedom fighters from the state facing execution or exile. “Every chapter of our pre-independence history witnesses about hardships suffered by Punjabis in the fight for freedom,” he remarked.

During the meeting, Jain listened to the concerns raised by the families and directed relevant departments to ensure swift resolutions. To provide ongoing support, he announced that monthly meetings would be held with the families to address their needs and ensure continued recognition of their loved ones’ sacrifices.
