INA veteran dies unnoticed
Bhaini Arora (Ludhiana) September 2
About 102-year-old Gulzar Singh, an INA veteran, after living an unrecognised life all these years died unsung and unnoticed, this morning in his ancestral village here. His allegations of callous attitude towards the freedom fighters in the state came true when not a single
official of the district administration or the state government attended his cremation ceremony.
Villagers, however, gave him a befitting farewell. A large number
of persons from local and surrounding villages attended the
cremation.
