Veterans to return 25,000 medals
Description
Army veterans camping at the Singhu border have collected 5,000 gallantry medals since November 26 to return to the Centre “in lieu” of a decision to repeal the three new farm laws. Predominantly hailing from Punjab and Haryana and with farming as a source of sustenance now, the veterans said they planned to collect 25,000 medals over the next two days. Lakhs more were on their way to the protest site, they added. The veterans said they were “hurt” by the treatment being meted out by the government to the protesters.page 11
