PATNA: Indian Army vice-chief Lt Gen S K Singh will inaugurate a medical camp for ex-servicemen of Bihar on Saturday at Ara. His wife, Kusum Singh, who is vice-president of Army Wives Welfare Association, will also grace the occasion.
Bihar Ex-servicemen League president Col (retd) V K Singh said hundreds of ex-servicemen from Buxar, Rohtas and Patna districts are likely to attend the camp which would focus on detection of diabetes among them and their family members free of cost, he said.
Lt Gen Singh would also honour about 30 widows and senior veterans, including Brig (retd) Bhuvaneshwar Singh, at this camp. Besides, he would also lay the foundation stone for the construction of the first multi- storey Zila Sainik Kalyan Karyalaya in the state at Ara.
The state government has decided to build such buildings in six districts of the state -- Ara, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Chhapra, Motihari and Munger -- for the welfare of ex-servicemen, he said. He praised CM Nitish Kumar for deciding to appoint 284 more ex-servicemen as assistant jailors in Bihar.
