Nepal Ireland Society, in its effort to encourage the selfless and brave people of our country, honored the four brave policemen
who dived into highly polluted bagmati river in an effort to save a young girl who drowned in the river.
 
The program was held in Reporter's Club, Putali Sadak, Kathmandu. State Health Minister Mrs. Sashi Shrestha handed over the certificate and the cash prizes
to the policemen. Out of four policemen, only two were present in the program as the rest two were out of Kathmandu in election duty.
