TURA, Oct 8: Three days after a road in North Garo Hills was named after a CRPF commando who was martyred while fighting Maoists in Jharkhand, a school in South West Garo Hills has now been dedicated to another slain CRPF jawan.
The CRPF jawan Sugandha Koch, who hailed from Gandhi Para village under Garobadha of South West Garo Hills, was killed in September 3, 2005, in an IED explosion in the jungles of Bijapur in Chhattisgarh.
On Friday, the Sugandha Koch Memorial Government LP School located at Koch’s native village was inaugurated by South West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner, Ramakrishna Chitturi, in the presence of Superintendant of Police Siddarth Kumar Ambedkar, CRPF officials and family members of Koch.
During the programme, tributes were also paid to the Koch by the family members, chief guest and other dignitaries.
