The Army is exploring the feasibility of setting up hospitals in
various parts of the country to cater exclusively to the ex-servicemen, besides
revamping the existing administrative set up at Army Headquarters to deal with veterans’
issues.
Stating this today during the inauguration of Ashray, a home for
aged ex-servicemen set up at Panchkula by the Western Command, Chief of the
Army Staff General Dalbir Singh said as a pilot project, a veterans’ section
was being set up at the Base Hospital in New Delhi.
