In a significant step towards enhancing the welfare of its police force, the Jharkhand Police have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the State Bank of India (SBI). The agreement guarantees life insurance coverage of ₹1 crore in case of accidental death for nearly 70,000 police personnel across the state. This move aims to provide financial security to officers and their families, acknowledging the risks that law enforcement personnel face on a daily basis.
The policy covers not only accidental deaths during duty but also offers a sense of assurance to officers in the line of duty. Jharkhand has taken a proactive approach to improving the health and safety of its police workforce. This initiative is expected to boost morale and enhance the overall safety standards for police personnel across the state.
