President Approves Gallantry Medal for Former Police Officer Vivek Singh Chouhan
The Centre informed the Supreme Court that the President has approved the President's Medal for Gallantry for former police officer Vivek Singh Chouhan, recognizing his 2003 operation in which he shot two dacoits. This approval follows the Supreme Court's earlier displeasure over delays in conferring the award, as directed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The Ministry of Home Affairs will notify the award in the Gazette of India, and pending contempt proceedings against the Home Secretary will be withdrawn.
