Merely nine months after martyr Major Rajesh Nair’s widow had applied, she received a five-acre piece of land in Palghar district from the state government. The state government had pledged to grant five acres to the families of fallen soldiers and had passed a resolution to this effect in 2018.

Supriya Nair, wife of the late Major Nair (Sena Medal for Gallantry), applied for this land in Palghar, and her request was honoured on Thursday, August 15, at an event chaired by Ravindra Chavan, guardian minister for Palghar district. The land, allotted to Supriya, is located in Wada village.
