"The family will get a sum of Rs.42 lakh and other facilities. I have also handed over to soldier's father a letter of employment to any member in the family. They are part of our extended family and we will take care of them," he said.
The army chief visited the soldier's village in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh along with senior army commanders.
He also appealed to media not to politicise the killing of Indian soldiers.
