"The soldier is threatened to leave the native place and find another place to live." The president of the club, Bidyadhar Nayak, said that the rehabilitation of exservicemen has been not guaranteed by any authority. "It becomes a traumatic experience for many retired soldiers," he said. "We need to safeguard their interests as they have been safeguarding the country." Nayak said that many exarmymen are posted as security guards in several establishments on a mere remuneration of Rs. 5000 to Rs. 10000. "Several such companies take the plight of exservicemen as an opportunity to exploit them," Nayak said.
