While presenting the cheques to the beneficiaries, Elkanah thanked the police chief for the gesture which he said was aimed at alleviating the sufferings faced by families of police personnel who died in service.

He described the gesture as timely, saying it would serve as a morale booster to officers and men of the Force to redouble their commitment in the ongoing fight against criminal elements in the country.
