Hyderabad: A meeting to offer tributes to police personnel who died due to Covid-19 was held at the Hyderabad Police Commissionerate on Thursday.

Speaking at the event, City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar said the role of the police was unconventional during the lockdown.

“We have done things that were not there in our charter of duties. We have been at the forefront in this entire period. We have not just done traditional, conventional roles like nakabandi, but have also guarded containment buildings and hospitals and have made sure that supply of essential goods is streamlined,” he said, adding that the police also took the lead during the process of sending migrant workers back home.

Police personnel putting their own health, families, and most importantly their own lives at risk, with selfless determination for the sake of saving lives, were the real heroes in these challenging times, he said.

On the occasion, ManKind Pharma Company came forward and gave cheques of Rs 3 lakh each to families of three police officers from the North Zone, who succumbed to the virus.
