98-year-old war veteran Chandrashekar Jangam's final battle has finally been won, even though he is no longer here to enjoy the victory. The government has finally granted his family the land that Chandrashekar spent over 50 years fighting for, right until he drew his last breath in March this year.

Not as valuable
The Satara Collector approved three gunthas of land in the Sadar bazaar area in Satara city for his family on Thursday. Collector Shweta Singhal confirmed, "I have signed the file and Mantralaya will give the final approval." Three gunthas is much less than land than the 15.5 gunthas Chandrashekar had paid for in 1968. The value of the plot granted to them is R21 lakh, while the original plot that Chandrashekhar had bought is worth R1.2 crore today.
