No top honour for 26/11 martyrs?
On January 26, four of the sixteen Mumbai policemen who died during the 26/11 terror attacks will be honoured with Ashok Chakras. Thirteen Mumbai Policemen had been recommended for the honour, but only four including the late ATS Chief Hemant Karkare made the cut. The government has already said it would not be possible for it to give the Ashok Chakra to everyone recommended, as it’s the highest award given during peace time.

Hemanta Kumar Mukhopadhyay (Bangla: Hemonto Kumar Mukhopaddhae) also known as Hemanta Mukherjee (June 16, 1920 – September 26, 1989) was an Indian singer, composer and producer. He sang in Hindi films under the name Hemant Kumar.
Hemanta was born in the city of Varanasi, India. His family hailed from a village named Baharu in West Bengal and migrated to Calcutta in the early 20th century. Hemanta too grew up in Calcutta and attended a school in South Calcutta(Bhawanipore) named Mitra Institution. There he met his longtime friend, a celebrated Bengali poet, Subhas Mukhopadhyay. After passing the intermediate examinations (12th grade) Hemanta was admitted to Jadavpur University to study engineering. However, despite parental objection, he quit academics to pursue a career in music. Hemanta briefly tried his hand at literature and also published a short story in a prestigious Bengali magazine called ‘Desh’, but by the late-1930s he was committed entirely to music….
….In September 1989, Hemanta travelled to Dhaka, Bangladesh to receive the Michael Madhusudan Award. He performed a concert in Dhaka as well. Immediately after returning from this trip, Hemanta suffered a major cardiac arrest on September 26th and breathed his last at 11:15 pm in a nursing home in South Calcutta…….
