CISF to give relief to parents of martyrs as well
To avoid possible legal wrangles between wives of deceased jawans and their in-laws over compensation money, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has for the first time awarded compensation to the parents of jawans who died fighting Maoists in Navratna PSU Nalco's bauxite mines in Koraput district in April this year.
On April 12, over 400 Maoists armed with sophisticated weapons launched simultaneous attacks on the CISF's fire station barrack, mines barrack, its main gate control room and the explosive magazine of Nalco at the Panchpatmali bauxite hilltop in Damanjodi area of Koraput district.
Though outnumbered, the CISF jawans stationed there fought bravely for more than eight hours foiling the rebels' plan of looting industrial explosives from the warehouse.
During the fight, CISF lost 10 of its jawans -- sub-inspector Subas Chandra Pradhan, constable Barun Paramanik, constable Bidhan Maji, constable Solanki Kirtan Kumar, constable Potupureddi Appanna, constable Lalit Kumar, head constable Bhagirath Singh, head constable A. Sarmah, constable Sarbjeet Singh and constable V K Singh.
