'We Just Followed Orders': Disabled Army Veterans Fight For Rights | Read
Colonel Anil Kaul, 66, has written several letters to the army headquarters, but says he is still to receive a satisfactory response. He is a war veteran, who lost his right eye and left hand while saving 250 soldiers in a rescue mission in Sri Lanka's Jaffna in 1987. He got a Vir Chakra for his bravery, but says that the institutional support needed for him to get back on field was missing. He had served the army for 32 years, but his career took a sharp turn post his injury.
