Deva Singh’s grant followed his own military service

C Attributed / requires confirmation Life

According to a 2024 Tribune report, Deva Singh’s land grant followed his own military service and retirement — the standard colonisation-grant mechanism for army pensioners. The available report text is truncated, so this is recorded as an attributed statement, not asserted.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
