"At present the compensation for police personnel who die on duty is Rs 2 lakh which is not enough. We have decided to increase the amount. We will announce the increased amount very soon," Bhattacharjee, who also holds Home portfolio, said while inaugurating a police memorial said.
"The duty of policemen is no less than that of the army and in this changed socio-political condition when the terrorist activities in the state have increased to a considerable degree, the duty of the policemen has become more tough and challenging," he said.
Admitting that there were infrastructural problems, Bhattacharjee said, "We are trying to build hospitals, quarters and trying to give more facilities to the family of the policemen".
