Kashmir Centre for Social and Development Studies (KCSDS) presented an award for bravery to driver, Gh Mohammad Sofi, from Wussan, Kangan Ganderbal who saved precious lives by continuing to drive the ambulance with critical patients to the hospital even after he came under pellet firing by forces near Sekidafar in August.
KCSDS said in a statement issued this evening that the award comprised of a memento, a shawl and Rs 21000 in recognition of his tremendous bravery in the face of deadly attack by the forces.
“KCSD thinks it is important to recognise the services of all those who risk their lives especially in the present circumstances to serve the society in various ways. We need to create public mementoes and awards for the distinguished service in any field of life,” the statement said.
“This is one way of honouring our genuine heroes and we thought this is the first step in that direction. Most of our authentic heroes are ignored. They remain unsung and unwritten about,” KCSDS said.
The members who were present on this occasion are Ab Majid Zargar, Shakeel Qalandar, Dr Mubeen Shah, Hameedah Nayeem, Qurat ul Ain and Mehboob Makhdoomi.
“Next step in this direction would be to award our doctors who tirelessly work day and night and journalists who risk their lives in reporting honestly from the ground,” the statement added.
