Compassion in uniform: Army helps late officer's daughter regain ancestral home in UP

Indian Army's Central Command aids a civilian woman in reclaiming her ancestral home from illegal occupants in Uttar Pradesh, showcasing institutional compassion.

"His actions reflect the Army's living ethos, to never abandon its own, to stand for justice and to serve with humanity. - Indian Army Central Command"

New Delhi, Jan 3

In an example of compassion in uniform, the Indian Army's Central Command helped a civilian woman and the daughter of a late Territorial Army officer take back her ancestral home from anti-social elements in Uttar Pradesh, an official said on Saturday.

Anjana Bhatt, who has no family, got back the possession of her ancestral home with the swift intervention of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the tireless efforts of her foster guardian Major Vishal Kanaujia, the official said in a statement.

Sharing details of the case, the Central Command said on its official social media handle, "In her most difficult phase, Maj Vishal Kanaujia, appointed as her foster guardian, stood resolute. Through unwavering dedication, persistent legal pursuit and coordination with civil authorities, he helped secure her rightful home. His actions reflect the Army's living ethos, to never abandon its own, to stand for justice and to serve with humanity."

"Swift intervention by the Hon'ble #ChiefMinister of #Uttar Pradesh ensured the restoration of Miss Anjana Bhatt's ancestral home that had been forcefully occupied by anti-social elements. Yet, the deeper story is one of silent responsibility and compassion beyond the call of duty," said the post by the Central Command.

Anjana, daughter of a late Territorial Army officer and left without family, health support and home, found a guardian in the Indian Army.

"Through years of sustained institutional care by Madhya Uttar Pradesh Sub Area, #Lucknow, she was provided dignity, protection and reassurance," it said.

Meanwhile, at the Army's Southern Command, a new health facility was launched for veterans on Saturday.

"A new ECHS Polyclinic was inaugurated today at Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, by Maj Gen Ajay Misra, GOC Telangana & Andhra Sub Area, enhancing accessible and dependable healthcare for veterans and their families," said an official on the social media page of the Southern Command.

The modern facility will provide advanced medical, diagnostic and rehabilitative services, significantly strengthening healthcare infrastructure for the veteran community in the region, he said in a statement.

The Southern Command remains committed to honouring our veterans' service through dignified healthcare, stronger welfare initiatives and continued support to those who served the nation, it said.

While this story is positive, it also highlights a sad reality. Why did a woman, the daughter of an officer, have to fight for years to get her own home back from goons? The local police and administration should have acted much sooner. The system failed her first.

Salute to the Indian Army and to CM Yogi Adityanath for the swift action. This is true "seva" and "samman". The news about the new ECHS clinic in Andhra is also great. Our veterans deserve the best healthcare. Proud moment.

As someone living abroad, stories like this make me immensely proud of my homeland. The institutional care provided by the Army in Lucknow shows a system that cares for its people beyond just protocol. More power to them.

Major Vishal Kanaujia is a real-life hero. Not all battles are fought on the border. This persistent legal fight to secure justice for a daughter of the regiment is what true leadership looks like. Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

This story brought tears to my eyes. For a woman with no family, the Army became her family. This is our culture - we do not abandon our own. May Anjana Bhatt ji find peace and happiness in her home now. ❤️
