Even as the country reels under the impact of the coronavirus crisis, in an exemplary display of grit and determination, an eight-month pregnant woman police officer is standing firmly with her colleagues and subordinates to enforce the COVID-19 lockdown in Mayurbhanj district.
Betnoti police station Sub-Inspector Mamata Mishra has certainly set an example for many others fighting the war against the pandemic. She had joined Betnoti PS on January 20, 2019.
“All frontline personnel of the Health Department, police and district administration are working hard and are resolutely engaged with their responsibilities in the COVID-19 battle. So, why shouldn’t I face the challenge,” said Mamata.
“I am totally fine now and will seek leave when there is urgent need. I do patrolling as part of COVID-19 duty and investigate at police station. There is no extra work load and pressure from my seniors. The IIC and my colleagues are very supportive and cooperative. I am planning to take leave after the end of the extended lockdown on May 3”, she added.
Mamata is among the frontline warriors who are putting their best efforts to deal with the crisis.
DGP Abhay, during his visit to the district on Tuesday, complimented Mamata for being brave enough to discharge her duties during the tough situation keeping aside her personal priorities.
