After mid-day reported about a Satara-based war veteran's decade-long battle to get land that he was due from the state government, a Mumbai-based trust has come forward to provide the septuagenarian financial support.

Since 2008, 74-year-old Hindurao Ingale - he worked as a driver in the Army and was attached to the 216 Medium Regiment during the 1971 Indo-Pak war - has been running from pillar to post for two plots of land, which he was entitled to, as per a government resolution (GR) issued on December 30, 1971.
