CM Khattar pays tributes to martyrs of police force

At Nuh, CM Khattar also paid tributes to the martyrs of the police force on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day. “During the event, the Chief Minister draped a shawl on Sunita Devi, widow of martyred constable Satyaveer who lost his life at a checkpoint while trying to stop illegal mining, and offered his respects to Siddharth (Under Training), the son of the late DSP Surender, resident of Sarangpur village of Hisar, who lost his life while preventing illegal mining in Tauru,” the spokesperson said.

On the occasion, Superintendent of Police Narender Bijarniya read out the names of 189 soldiers who sacrificed their lives while performing duties in different parts of the country in the last year.

“Haryana Police is one of the leading police forces in the country and the government has taken several initiatives to support the welfare of police personnel and their families. The government has taken historic steps to ensure the well-being of police families, such as providing financial assistance to the families of martyrs and offering ex-gratia jobs to their family members. There are provisions for police families’ children in police lines, including Police Public Schools and e-libraries,” CM Khattar said while addressing the gathering.

He highlighted the facilities such as medical check-ups arranged for police personnel, and other amenities like flats, community centres, and gyms provided to the officials.

CM Khattar said that merit-based government job opportunities have reduced the need for recommendations. “Qualifications serve as the sole criteria for employment,” he asserted.

He also appealed to the police personnel to maintain a compassionate approach towards the public, especially towards children, the elderly, and women, while also maintaining a tough stance against criminals.
