Chandigarh, January 4
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) sainik wing on Saturday demanded that the Congress government must release the pending Rs15-lakh grant to about 100 war widows or face an agitation.
In a statement issued here, SAD sainik wing president Gurjinder Singh Sidhu said, “It is condemnable that the state government is not releasing the pending grant in spite of the fact that a major portion of Rs50-lakh granted to martyrs’ families by former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had been released.”
