NEW DELHI: Nearly Rs 13 crore was contributed to a Home Ministry fund that helps families of paramilitary personnel who laid down their lives fighting extremists following an appeal by Home Minister Rajnath Singh today.

The money were raised at a function, organised to launch the official anthem of the ‘Bharat Ke Veer’ fund here.

Singh lauded the contributions made for the families of central armed police forces personnel killed while safeguarding the nation.

He said any amount of praise for soldiers is not enough to recognise their sacrifices as he appealed for monetary contributions from corporates and the general public to support families of the deceased troopers. (AGENCIES)
