This ex-Army man fought for the country, received a bullet wound, and was awarded the Raksha medal and Sainya Seva medal for his gallant service. However, even after making rounds of Mantralaya for the past eight years, he has not got a ration card till date.
Hindurao Ingale, 62, a gunner with 216 Medium Regiment, had been to the front during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. He was shot in the leg while carrying cannons and officers to Chhamb in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The district administration gave me a card on which I can get three litres of kerosene per month. But my need is food, not kerosene,” said Ingale. “As an ex-army man, I am entitled to four bottles of liquor for Rs500 every month. I sell the liquor and buy food grains to survive.”
