The opposition parties of the country have raised the issue of facilities given to regular and Agniveer soldiers in the Parliament. It is true that Agniveer soldiers and their families get much less facilities than regular soldiers. But do you know which force’s soldiers are given the status of martyr in our country?
military force
Soldiers of different forces are deployed for the security of the country. But do you know which soldiers are given the status of martyr? Yes, this may sound a little strange, because all the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for the security of the country are called martyrs. But in reality, there is a big difference between being called a martyr in common spoken language and being martyred in documents. The soldiers who are given the status of martyr by the Government of India are also provided many types of facilities. This includes pension equal to the salary for the entire life of the martyr’s wife, discount in air and train fares, health facilities and some assistance amount after death.
Which force’s soldiers get the status of martyr
First of all, let us tell you about Agniveer soldiers. If an Agniveer soldier is martyred in any operation, military accident or terrorist attack, then he does not get the status of a martyr. During this time, the Agniveer soldiers are given only a fixed amount and insurance amount by the government. Apart from this, if a policeman of any state loses his life in any terrorist action or any other operation, then he also does not get the status of a martyr. According to the information, if a soldier of the paramilitary forces dies in any terrorist incident, operation, or any other activity, then he also does not get the status of a martyr.

In the country, after the death of any soldier of any force, he is called a martyr in common parlance. But in reality, the soldiers who get the status of martyr are given many other facilities as well. These include land or house, petrol pump or gas agency, full salary to the wife of the martyr, 50 percent discount in rail and air fare to the family of the martyr and some additional facilities including financial help and government job from the state government. According to the information, only army soldiers get the status of martyr in our country.
