Raipur, September 29, 2008: President Pratibha Patil today paid rich tributes to the four CRPF personnel, including Assistant Commandant Dibakar Mohapatra, who were killed in a powerful blast carried out by the Maoists earlier in the day in Bastar district.
The CRPF personnel have sacrificed their lives for the country, said the President while addressing the Golden Jubilee function of the Dudhadhari Bajrang Government Women’s College at Raipur.

To find a solution to any problem talk and discussion were the main ways, the President said.
Stating that half of the population of the country was women, she said by making them weak, nothing can be achieved. Hence women should be given priority in national development.
