NEW DELHI: How many times have images of a martyr's grieving kin tugged at your heart strings, making you want to reach out and help in your own small way? Sources said the ministry has fully backed the initiative. Once the aggregate contributions reach Rs 15 lakh, the details will be removed from the website so as to channelise further contributions to the next deserving case. "Though government websites offer options to extend financial help to martyr's kin, these are not well-publicised. The app will simplify things, with the home ministry website and Akshay's involvement as a brand ambassador offering it wide publicity," said BSF DIG in Jaisalmer Amit Lodha.
