Financial help for martyr

NEW DELHI: A group of social workers led by Congress leader Harish Rawat has given financial assistance of Rs.4 lakh to the mother of Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, who died during an encounter with suspected terrorists at Batla House here in September this year.

The amount was handed over to Ms. Devendri Sharma at her residence in Dwarka here. The group also demanded that the slain policeman be honoured with Ashok Chakra and that the family be allotted a petrol pump.
