Manju Rani, sister of the Shaheed Satyawan, Sepoy, 10 Para Regt., against a Group C post in the Department of Elementary Education by giving relaxation in the policy as well as her posting in the Home District, Charkhi Dadri. He has further directed that Manju Rani will be offered the post of TGT teacher as soon as she qualifies the HTET examination. An official spokesperson stated that Shaheed Satyawan, son of Smt. Santosh, had sacrificed his life for the nation during Operation Rakshak . He said that taking a further step the Chief Minister has directed the Chief Secretary office to offer compassionate appointments to sisters of all martyrs whose cases may be pending by giving similar relaxation in the policy. He informed that the policy dated May 30, 2014, and September 28, 2018 did not permit employment to sister of a martyr. Therefore, earlier in 2019 when Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal has approved appointment of Martyr Shri Kapil Kundu s sister Smt. Kajal Kundu as an Assistant Employment officer within relaxation of the policy. The CM had further directed that the policy, be amended to provide compassionate appointment to eligible sisters of martyrs. It may be recalled that Shaheed Kapil Kundu has laid down his life in the unprovoked and indiscriminate firing by Pakistan in Rajouri. The amended policy, effective from the eve of Independence on August 14, 2023, has already expanded the definition to include the term sister within the ambit of the dependent family members of the martyrs. This decision reflects the Haryana Government s dedication to upholding the principles of justice, compassion, and gratitude towards those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation.
