Two months after her husband, Major Amit Deswal, was martyred in a counter insurgency operation in Manipur, 33-year-old Neeta Deswal is now preparing for an interview with the Indian Army’s Service Selection Board (SSB) for joining the Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai.
- 2 months after her husband was martyred, Neeta Deswal is now preparing for an interview for joining OTA.
- She chose to enter the Army because the Indian Army had taken care of her and her 3-year-old son after his death.
- Being the widow of a slain Army officer, Neeta has been allotted accommodation in Delhi Cantonment for now.
A native of Surehati village in Haryana’s Jhajjar district, 34-year-old Major Deswal of 21 Para (Special Forces) was posted in Manipur as part of Operation Hifazat-II when he was killed in a gun battle with militants on April 14 this year.
There is no official word on whether Neeta would be appearing before the SSB this year. Major Deswal’s father, Subedar Rishi Ram (retd)said they had put up Neeta’s case through the commanding officer of 21 Para (Major Deswal’s unit) to the defence authorities. “Hopefully, she would be called for the SSB interview in November this year,” he said.
