CISF Jawan from Rajasthan Dies After Falling into Gorge in Madhya Pradesh

A member of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) from Rajasthan lost his life after a tragic accident in Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh. The incident occurred on the evening of July 25, when Suresh Kumar Maharia, a resident of Kansarda ki Dhani in Jajod, Shri Madhopur, slipped and fell into a 60-foot-deep gorge.

Reports indicate that Maharia had exited a vehicle near Lahgadua-Ankhawadi and was making his way to a nearby hill when the accident happened. Following the slip, emergency responders alongside the Parasia Police initiated a rescue operation that lasted nearly two hours, complicated by heavy rainfall in the area. Rescuers utilized ropes to extract him from the ravine, after which he was rushed to a local hospital. Unfortunately, medical personnel pronounced him dead upon arrival.

The news of Mahariaโ€™s untimely demise has left his family and community in deep sorrow. His body is expected to arrive in Shri Madhopur around noon, where a funeral procession will take place with full military honors, including the display of the national flag.

Maharia joined the CISF back in 2015 and is survived by his wife, a homemaker, and their two childrenโ€”a daughter currently in college and a son in Class 10. His family background includes a father engaged in agriculture, a deceased mother, and a younger brother who works in the private sector, while his brotherโ€™s wife serves in the Rajasthan Police.

The incident has deeply affected Mahariaโ€™s native village, casting a pall of grief over the community as they mourn the loss of a dedicated service member.
