Principal District and Sessions Judge, Mandya, M. Brungesh on Monday, October 21, said the policemen can safeguard the society if they are in good health. The police personnel must take care of their health while being on duty, he advised.

Speaking at the Police Martyrs’ Day held at the DAR Parade Grounds in Mandya, the Judge, who paid tributes to the policemen who died in the line of duty, said the policemen, besides discharging their duties, must give proper attention to their health amidst their professional duties. They must check their health conditions.

In his address, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Kumara said it is everyone’s duty to pay their respects to the police martyrs.

While paying his tributes to the martyrs on the occasion and recalling those who laid their lives safeguarding the people and the society, he said, “If we give respect to the martyrs, it is like giving respect to our country and the constitution. The police and the soldiers who fight for the society and the country are the most valuable people.”

He said 213 police personnel have become martyrs this year. While protecting society’s health, the police must also take care of their health as well, he advised.

The DC described police, farmers, soldiers, and teachers as the four pillars of the society. These people play a key role in protecting the health of society. If the soldiers protect us guarding the borders, the police protect us within the country.

Speaking on the occasion, ZP CEO Sheikh Tanveer Asif said many policemen skip their breakfast and lunch while on duty and some of them stay away from their families because of their professional reasons. The police personnel must not neglect and take proper care of their health, he advised.
