Captain Anshuman Singh's parents question Army rule, Chinese envoy reaches out to Ajit Doval

The parents of Captain Anshuman Singh, who died during a fire incident in Siachen in July last year, have demanded changes in the Indian Army's next of kin (NOK) criteria for financial assistance to family members in case of a soldier's death. Speaking to a news channel, Ravi Pratap Singh and his wife Manju Singh claimed that their daughter-in-law Smriti Singh left their home and now receives most of the entitlements after their son's death. Mr Singh said the only thing left with them is a photo of their son "hanging on the wall". Should the policy be changed? Experts debate on India Today.
