Gadkari inaugurates cooperative store in memory of martyr Hingole

Nagpur: Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari inaugurated a cooperative store in memory of a martyr, constable KG Hingole, at the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp off Hingna Road on Saturday.
Hingole, who hailed from village Lahan in Nanded district, was deployed in Punjab to assist the state to contain terrorism.
On July 24, 1988, Hingole was a part of the party meant for an operation in village Pokporra in Amritsar district. As they approached the village, a flurry of bullets by terrorists greeted them. In the encounter that ensued, Hingole fought valiantly. He shot one terrorist but eventually fell to their bullets. Hingole was posthumously awarded the police medal for gallantry.
Apart from lauding Hingole’s heroic deed, Gadkari thanked doctors, nurses, paramedics and personnel of all the security forces, including the CRPF, for playing an important role in the ongoing Covid pandemic.
Gadkari said CRPF personnel who have taken the vaccine would stay healthy and perform their duties with the same spirit. He also appreciated the plantation project at the CRPF premises and thanked the past and present jawans.
The minister for micro, small and medium enterprises also interacted and motivated the new CRPF recruits who would be joining the force soon. Gadkari also had a word with their family members.
Mayor Daya Shankar Tiwari, BJP MLA from Hingna Sameer Meghe and DIG CRPF Nagpur Prashant R Jambholkar accompanied Gadkari during his visit.
