Family members of martyrs unveil Falcon pumps

Rajkot-based Falcon Pumps Thursday made family members of four martyrs of the Indian army hailing from Tamil Nadu to launch their new products here. The company offered Rs 25,000 to each of the families, its founder and executive director Kamalnayan Sojitra said at the launch.

The family members of Shivashankaran, Subramanian, Perumal and Balamurugan, who laid down their lives for the nation, unveiled the products. The company has innovated V-6 bore well pumps at 50-foot head and V-8 at the 90-foot head that would benefit farmers for thousands of crores of rupees as well as help save electricity for the country, Sojitra said.

The gesture of the company to the bereaved families was part of its 'Rashtra dharma' and love for the country, the executive director added.
