(b) if so, the reasons therefor and whether a time frame has been set to make available rehabilitation and other welfare packages to them; and;

(c) if so, the details thereof?

Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI GEORGE FERNANDES)



(a) to (c): Many State Governments have announced financial and other benefits, including allotment of house sites, to the dependents of Defence personnel killed/injured in the Kargil conflict. Since the reference is to State Government schemes, it would not be possible to indicate a time frame within which rehabilitation and welfare measures will be taken up by other States.
