Two women police personnel from Coimbatore — K. Praveena and M. Amina — have been going beyond their call of duty for the past several years.
Together, the two policewomen have given a dignified farewell to more than 700 dead bodies that were unknown or unclaimed in Coimbatore district.
Ms. Praveena (33) works at the All Women Police Station, Perur, and Ms. Amina (38) is attached to the Mettupalayam station. They have been doing this social service with Jeeva Shanthy Trust, which performs last rites of the abandoned and unclaimed bodies, rescue the destitute and mentally-challenged people from the streets and attend to poor patients in government hospitals and other services.
