The DGP stressed upon the officers to chalk out the modalities to re-fix relief structures for the next of kin (NOKs) of martyrs, serving jawans, their families and retired personnel. He further said that 30 retired police personnel have received relief during the period. He said that families of martyrs get a relief package of Rs. 13.50 lacs while as those who die in harness, because of accidents or natural causes, are given Rs. 8.50 lacs which includes Rs. 6 lacs from Special Contributory Police Welfare Fund. In addition Rs. 2.50 lacs are paid as insurance claim. However, the families of martyrs get additional Rs. 5 Lacs as ex-gratia relief, Khoda added. The DGP said that this special relief package has been possible because of the initiation of (SCPWF) which was started way back in 1983. Since this fund is exclusively generated by monthly contribution from police ranks with no supplementation from Government, the relief to the families of such personnel was enhanced from time to time with corresponding increase in monthly contribution.
