Tribute to Mohan Chand Sharma :
Saheed Mohan Chand Sharma was an officer par- excellence of Delhi Police. He was a dedicated officer of Delhi Police. A compasionate, patiotic, calm, caring and disciplined soul, for whom the nation was a top priority. He had always led his team from the front. His sacrifice will never go in vain. This is he time that we all INDIANS, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and faith shall come forward and take a vow to carry forward the mission of Saheed Mohan Chand Sharma to its logical conclusion. This will be the true tribute to the departed soul. The loss to the family can never be substituted. Still we all may pray to the god the Mrs. Sharma shall be able to fulfill his dreams for his children. Terrorism never pays.
In this country , probably we need a thousand Mohan Chand Sharma.
Mohan is a guiding light for not only the police department, but all the Indians.
