Ratul's views about the award is that the award has no meaning for him because his life condition is still as tough as it was before a time. They were expecting to have government job in Indian army or state police department after getting bravery award but they got nothing. They appealed CM of Assam Mr. Tarun Gogoi and other politicians for help but did not get any positive response.
