CM announces Rs 50 lakh aid for the Corona warrior
AA 41-year-old police inspector and a 70-year-old woman succumbed to coronavirus in Indore city, taking the death toll in the Madhya Pradesh district to 49, officials said on Sunday.
This is the first case of a police officer dying of COVID-19 in the state, they said. The police officer Devendra Kumar Chandrawanshi was posted as a town inspector of the Juni police station in Indore.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in a tweet offered condolences to the bereaved family. He wrote, “I pay my utmost respects to Devendra Kumar for his sacrifice and valor against the Corona battle.” He announced that an ex gratia aid of Rs 50 lakh will be provided to the family. His wife will also be given a job in the police department on the post of that of a sub-inspector.
“The police officer died at a private hospital late Saturday night. He was struggling with the disease since hospitalisation about 20 days back,”
Superintendent of Police Mahesh Chandra Jain said.
Doctors tried their best, but could not save him, Jain said, adding that the victim is survived by a wife and two daughters. Doctors said prima facie the cause of death could be pulmonary embolization.
The Indore police department mourned the death of the officer, while many residents took to social media to pay tributes to him and hailed him as the “COVID-19 warrior”.

Besides, a 70-year-old woman also died of coronavirus in another private hospital on Friday, Chief Medical and Health Officer Praveen Jadia said.
The district, one of the worst affected by a coronavirus in the country, has so far reported 890 COVID-19 cases, according to official figures. Two more cops including an IPS officer on probation have also been found positive
According to an analysis, the death rate due to coronavirus in Indore is 5.5 percent, much higher than that at the national level for the last several days.
The district administration has imposed curfew in the urban limits since March 25 after the coronavirus cases first came to light.
