SRINAGAR : The Mattan Police Station in Anantnag was renamed as the Himayun Muzammil Model Police Station by the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday in honour of the DSP who gave his life in a confrontation with terrorists last month. In the presence of retired IGP Ghulam Hassan Bhat, the father of the deceased police officer, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh officially opened the remodelled and renamed police station. Speaking to the assembly, Singh said that ever since Himayun Muzammil gave his life while performing his duty, the police had been attempting to associate his name with a location in the Anantnag area.“Although his tenure was brief, he never wavered in his commitment to his duties. I can still clearly recall being there on the day of the incident. We were aware that several Army officers and our colleague were hurt. We did everything we could to ensure a prompt evacuation, but it was not possible.”We are aware that he had conversations with his father and wife before to passing away. If he had been evacuated sooner, we were hopeful that his life may have been saved, but sometimes the circumstances on the ground make it impossible to achieve our goals. The choices we make in life might sometimes be made elsewhere, according to Singh. In the district’s Kokernag neighbourhood on September 13, four security personnel, including Himayun Muzammil, lost their lives in a shoot-out with terrorists. The operation, which claimed the deaths of two terrorists and lasted over six days, also claimed the lives of two Army officers.
