What happened
The Ministry of Defence reclassified 87 Non-Military Stations across India as 'Hard Non-Military Stations' (HNMS). This policy extends enhanced House Rent Allowance (HRA) and accommodation benefits to defense personnel posted to these challenging locations. The National Cadet Corps welcomed the move, noting it provides relief to its staff in remote areas.
