Raipur: In an
innovative initiative, Chhattisgarh Director General of Police DM Awasthi announced
that that the soldiers deployed on the Naxalite front will be awarded certificate
of appreciation “Chhattisgarh Warriors” from Police Headquarters for their
extraordinary work.
He announced this while speaking to police personnel posted in camps located in all districts of Bastar division virtually
on Thursday. The DGP said that the bravery and courage of the soldiers is
priceless. The soldiers posted on the Naxal front get out-of-turn promotions
and other honors for notable work, but there are many soldiers who do not get
this honor. In such a situation, the soldiers who display exceptional bravery will
be felicitated from the Police Headquarters.
“Police personnel fight
every day, every moment. All are stationed on the Naxal front away from their
families on the festival of Diwali. After Deepawali, I will come to every camp
and meet everyone and every problem will be solved immediately”, he said.
This is the first time
that about a thousand soldiers from Naxal-affected areas located in remote forest
areas spoke to the DGP. Before Diwali, there was tremendous enthusiasm among
the jawans when they came to interact with their chief and knowing that their
problems will be resolved immediately.
On this occasion, Awasthi
saluted the sacrifice and duty of the soldiers posted in the Naxalite affected
areas and said that women commandos are also doing remarkable work on the Naxal
front. The problems related to accommodation,
transfers, advance funds and other demands put before the DGP by the soldiers
were resolved immediately.
