Punjab chief minister asks cops to absorb martyr’s brother

NEW DELHI: Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, taking note of a story published in ET on Wednesday, said he had asked the director general of police (DGP) to find a way of transferring the brother of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan killed in February 14 terrorist attack in Pulwama to Punjab Police.

“I have read the story. I stand committed to the welfare of our martyrs. I’m asking DGP, Punjab Police to see how we can bring Lakhvish to Punjab Police to take care of his father,” Singh tweeted.



ET had reported that 70-year-old Satpal Attri of Dinanagar in Pathankot had written to the CM and the Prime Minister requesting them that his second son be shifted to Punjab Police from CRPF to the Punjab Police since there was no one to takecare of him.
