Two boys of Gurgaon will be conferred state level bravery award posthumously by the Governor Dr A R Kidwai in State Level Republic Day Function at Rewari. The award will be received by their father Mohan Suri and mother Smt. Kiran.
The boys namely master Abhishek, age 9 years and master Suraj age 7 years were brothers. When in 2007, Abhishek and Suraj had gone to their native village Hazampur in District Hisar during holidays, they noticed a boy drowning in water tank. The drowning boy was crying for help. Seeing this, both Abhishek and Suraj jumped into the water to save that boy. They were able to save that drowning boy but in this exercise both of them lost their lives.
Abhishek and Suraj were awarded National Bravery Award for this heroic deed by the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh last year. Their father Mohan Suri, who is working as Pharmacist in District Red Cross Society Gurgaon, received the award from the Prime Minister on their behalf.
The Deputy Commissioner Deepti Umashankar has directed the District Child Welfare Officer Sajjan Singh to make arrangements for taking Mohan Suri and his wife from Gurgaon to Rewari.
