Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal
has announced an ex gratia of Rs. 20 lakh to the family of martyr
Moneswar Basumatary, who had sacrificed his life on the line of duty in
Jammu & Kashmir on Thursday.
Basumatary was one of the 44 soldiers
who had lost their lives during the terrorist attack on a convoy of
CRPF jawans in Jammu & Kashmir on Thursday leaving 44 dead and over a
dozen injured.
Assam chief minister Sonowal on Friday reviewed
the law and order situation with top police and civil administration
officials, particularly after the terrorist attack on the security
forces in Jammu & Kashmir and asked the Assam DGP to take all
necessary steps to ensure that the law and order situation in the state
does not get disturbed and the forces inimical to the state’s interests
are not allowed to raise their heads.
It
may be mentioned here that Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis
announced Rs. 50 lakh each to the two soldiers from the state who had
laid down their lives on the line of duty.
The IAS Association of
Uttrakhand also resolved to contribute one day’s salary to the family
members of the CRPF martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the nation at
Pulwama.
