Kargil War veteran attempts suicide in Karnataka over delay in land allotment for more than 20 years

A Kargil War veteran in Karnataka attempted suicide after facing a 26-year delay in the allotment of land promised to him for his military service. The man, who joined the Indian Army in 1987 and was injured during the 1999 conflict, reportedly consumed pesticide in Chikkaballapura due to frustration over the unresolved issue. He had submitted a formal request to local authorities earlier this year, expressing despair over the lack of action and questioning whether his service to the country was worthwhile. He is now receiving medical treatment in Bengaluru and plans to provide a statement once cleared by doctors. Officials confirmed the delay in processing his claim but did not specify reasons for the prolonged wait.
