A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawan from Rajasthan, Suresh Kumar Maharia, tragically lost his life in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh after slipping and falling into a 60-foot-deep gorge. The incident took place between Tamia and Parasia on the evening of July 25.
According to reports, the jawan, a resident of Kansarda ki Dhani in Jajod, Shri Madhopur, had stepped out of a vehicle near Lahgadua-Ankhawadi and was heading towards a nearby hill when he slipped and fell into the ravine. A rescue operation lasting nearly two hours was launched amid heavy rainfall, with help from Parasia Police and emergency responders. He was pulled out with the help of ropes and rushed to a hospital via ambulance, where doctors declared him dead.
His mortal remains will arrive in Shri Madhopur by 12 noon today. A funeral procession with full military honours and the national flag will be held in his honour.
Suresh Kumar Maharia had joined the CISF in 2015. He is survived by his wife, a homemaker, a daughter currently in college, and a son studying in Class 10. His father works in agriculture, while his mother had passed away earlier. His younger brother is employed in the private sector, and his brother’s wife serves in the Rajasthan Police.
