 comments... I am a regular reader of Bihar Times. I am a Bihari, living  in New Zealand.  Today, I was thrilled by this news that 'Bihari Officer awarded police medal  for meritorious service'. This BSFofficer is Om Shankar Jha of Dwalakh village  in Madubani district. He is my childhood friend. We were the students of ML  Academy Laheriasarai, Darbhanga during 1977-1981, my high school years, living  in the same hostel and sharing the same classroom. After leaving the school, we  never got to be in contact with each other again. 
 Could you please do me a favour by giving me his e-mail  address, or any other cotact details, if you have it. I want to personally  congratulate him on his achievements.
