Shamed government helps Gateway of India's jawans

T
hey spend their hours away from their families, guarding one of the four locations that was whipped by terror on 26/11 last year.

This is how they were treated. The jawans in charge of protecting the Gateway of India were given no rooms or toilets. They pitched tents here, the monument turning into their only shelter. (Read:Guarding us without beds, homes)

Reports by NDTV and other media led to even worse conditions. On Thursday night, the jawans were forced to bring down their tents and made to sleep on the pavement.(Read: Jawans forced to sleep on pavement)

After a new series of reports on NDTV on this shocking development, a shamed government has said the jawans will be hosted temporarily at a police station nearby; the Assistant Commissioner of Police has also promised that they will soon be given a home.
