Kin of Assam cops killed at Mizoram border get govt jobs

Guwahati, August 20

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday gave appointment letters to the kin of six police personnel killed in the gunfight at the interstate border with Mizoram on July 26.

The CM handed the appointment letters prior to addressing a press conference here to mark the 100 days of the BJP government led by him since he took charge on May 10.

The government decided to give these jobs under an exceptional circumstance, not to be cited as an example, he said. Jobs were given to the wives of deceased SI Swapan Kumar Roy, constables Mazrul Haque Barbhuiya, Nazmul Hussain and Samsuz Zaman Barbhuiya, along with sister of constable Liton Suklabaidya and the son of havildar Shyam Sundar Dusad. — PTI
