Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday awarded ‘Out of Turn Promotion’ to 28 soldiers, including two ex-soldiers, for their courageous efforts against Naxalites in Balaghat district.
CM Yadav congratulated the district’s soldiers, acknowledging their significant role in controlling the Naxalites and restoring normalcy in the previously troubled Balaghat district.
“Our soldiers played their role bravely in various Naxalite operations in Balaghat, and today I am happy that 26 soldiers and two ex-soldiers have been granted promotions. All types of armed forces in Balaghat, the role played by the District Police Force, the SAF soldiers, the Hawk Force, and 18 companies of three battalions of the CRPF of the Government of India are here. I would like to congratulate everyone,” CM Yadav told ANI.
He added, “Our armed forces are capable of fighting the enemies of the country. We have made a policy of surrender for Naxalites. We are working in that direction. This is the reason that we have controlled the Naxalites to a great extent and our most problematic district has become normal again.”
Before the ceremony, CM Yadav paid tribute to the martyred brave soldiers by laying floral wreaths.
