Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday said his government is making a policy to award a one-rank promotion to anyone who has won a gallantry award and is joining the state police.
If any such officers/personnel wished to join Punjab Police, their service and bravery would be given due recognition, said the Chief Minister, while pipping the stars of ASI on the uniform of Kargil war hero Satpal Singh.
Interestingly, Satpal finds mention in Amarinder’s book ‘A Ridge Too Far--War in the Kargil Heights’.
Amarinder had promoted the Vir Chakdra awardee on Friday, from senior constable, in which capacity he was managing traffic in Sangrur district till July 26. DGP Dinkar Gupta was also present at the pipping ceremony.
Amarinder said he had merely set right the wrong done to Satpal by the previous SAD-BJP government, which had ignored the valour of the soldier, and failed to give him the recognition he deserved.
