“The Covid-19 pandemic had claimed as many as 94 lives in the Punjab Police Force, of which two were gazetted officers and 18 were Home Guards,” said Bhawra, terming their sacrifice as remarkable and unforgettable.
He said that though no amount of money can compensate for the loss, this is just a small recognition and a little help to the families.
