MP CM Mohan Yadav announces equal split of Rs 1 crore ex-gratia between kin of police personnel killed on duty

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced a policy change regarding financial assistance for families of police personnel who die in the line of duty. Speaking at a state-level event in Bhopal, the Chief Minister stated that the allocated Rs 1 crore ex-gratia amount would now be split equally. Under the new arrangement, 50 percent of the funds will go to the widow and the remaining 50 percent will be given to the elderly parents of the deceased personnel.

During the event, the Director General of Police shared details regarding the security forces and operational challenges. According to reports, nine Madhya Pradesh Police personnel and officers lost their lives in the line of duty during the year. Officials also noted that over the past three decades, dozens of police personnel and civilians had died in Naxal attacks, which authorities described as a major internal security challenge.

The leadership highlighted various initiatives and achievements of the state police force, including record encounters and surrenders during anti-Naxal operations. The administration also reported significant out-of-turn promotions for personnel and ongoing efforts to recruit thousands of vacant positions to strengthen the force and prepare for upcoming large-scale events.
