Omble's family is touched by the Petroleum Ministry's gesture. Bharti Omble, daughter of the slain cop told MiD DAY this morning, "The family is happy that the oil discovery is named after my father. The officials had sought my mother's permission before announcing this. The sacrifice by my father makes us proud.''
