In a rare gesture, a woman tahsildar has shared her
prize money with two of her colleagues. Ms. N. Sugi Premila, the flying squad
tahsildar — hailing from Garanvilai near Marthandam serving in the Revenue
Department in Kanyakumari district — received the ‘Kalpana Chawla’ Bravery
Award from Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Independence Day in Chennai from the
Chief Minister, Ms. Jayalalithaa. The award included a gold-plated medal, a
certificate and Rs. 5 lakh.
Ms. Sugi Premila shared the
reward with Revenue Inspector Jothish Kumar and her driver John Bright, who
cooperated with her in carrying out search operations to prevent smuggling of
essential commodities to different parts of Kerala from Tamil Nadu. The flying
squad tahsildar handed over cheques of Rs. 1 lakh each to Mr. Jothish Kumar and
Mr. Bright from her prize money.
While speaking she said, “My
subordinates also deserved to get the prize amount… It was team work. Hence, I
decided to share with them too”. The official further said, “Whenever I
received information from my sources, I alerted my subordinates. They, in turn,
rushed to the spots to crack down on anti-social elements and illegal acts”.
