Humour Club International - Triplicane chapter made its 43rd anniversary special carrying forward a practice they started in 2016. For the 10th continuous year, the Club honoured four war widows, acknowledging their personal loss and supporting them with a financial assistance of ₹ one lakh each.
In 2016, during an official visit to Srinagar, R. Sekharan, secretary of the Club, met some families who had lost their children protecting the borders. Their stories left a deep scar on him. Later, with the approval of the committee members of the Triplicane chapter they started to support families of war heroes financially. Instead of just crediting the amount to their accounts, the Club goes all out to reflect and honour the sacrifice war widows endure with a fitting tribute that was held this time at Kamaraj Arangam in Teynampet.
