THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sainik Welfare Staff Organisation has alleged that attempts are going on to sabotage Sainik Welfare department that ensures Central-States benefits and to armed force and ex-military men.

“The appointment in the department was made till date through PSC. But higher officials in the Sainik Welfare departments have misled the government into believing that it would be ideal to hand over the control of the board completely to the Central Zainik Board. Efforts are going on in this regard,” the staff said.

The Organisation has given a complaint to the chief minister, seeking to block this move.
