Port Blair, Sept. 1: In a significant welfare initiative, the A&N Police has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the State Bank of India on January 25, 2023, to extend the benefits of the Police Salary Package to all its staff. This comprehensive package includes 'Accidental Insurance of Rs. 40 lakhs' in the event of an unfortunate demise.

In a poignant example, the claim for accidental insurance following the tragic demise of Late HC Ajit Das, who lost his life in a road accident, has been efficiently processed as the inaugural case under this package. The deceased's wife received a sum of Rs. 40.00 lakhs under the 'Police Salary Package' on August 30, 2023.

This milestone underscores the unwavering commitment to the well-being of the dedicated police force and their families. The collaborative efforts between the Andaman and Nicobar Police and the State Bank of India have streamlined the process of disbursing insurance claims, ensuring timely financial assistance to the beneficiaries covered by the 'Police Salary Package.'

The A&N Police has extended its heartfelt gratitude to the State Bank of India for their partnership and dedication to this noble cause.
