Provide special attention to jawans on official duty outside state: WSH

DIMAPUR, JUNE 4 (MExN): The Western Sumi Hoho (WSH) has urged both the Central and State governments to provide special attention to cases where jawans on official duty representing the state government face unfortunate incidents. 

While stating that in the event of any unfortunate incidents, quick and efficient measures should be in place, the WSH highlighted the recent tragedy where three police personnel from the Nagaland Armed Police (10th India Reserve Battalion) lost their lives due to sunstroke while on election duty in Bihar. 

Expressing distress that the bodies of the jawans reached home very late on the third day only, prolonging the agony of the grieving family members, it urged the state government to take immediate action in the future, such as arranging a chopper or a special ambulance to ensure the bodies of jawans are brought back home without delay.

Such gestures of respect and compassion would honor the sacrifice made by our jawans and officers in the line of duty and also their bereaved families, it stated.
