Jharkhand government today decided to give a job to Param Vir Chakra recipient Albert Ekka's 42-year-old son Bhisent.
The Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, decided to provide Bhisent with a grade-III government job, according to official sources here.
Bhisent and his mother Balamdin had on 26 September, 2012 appealed to Gandhi for a government job when the AICC vice president went to pay tributes to the martyr at his memorial in Ranchi.
Bhisent was nine-months-old when his father died while fighting Pakistan troops at Ganga Sagar.
A Lance Naik and recipient of the highest military award Param Vir Chakra, Ekka died in service in Battle of Hilli defending the front line of the 14th Battalion of the Brigade of Guards during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.
