Bhopal:
The 23-year-old daughter of a policeman who died of the coronavirus infection last month in Madhya Pradesh has been appointed as sub-inspector in the force by the state government, said an official on Saturday.
The 59-year-old policeman died in an Indore hospital on April 21 after getting infected while performing his duty in a containment area, the official said.
"Minister for Home and Health Narottam Mishra spoke to the 23-year-old woman on Saturday over phone and told her about the appointment as PSI as announced by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. She is likely to join duty next week," a state public relations department official said.
