Nation observes Police Commemoration Day

Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid tributes to police personnel, who lost their lives in the line of duty, at the National Police Memorial in the national capital marking ‘Police Commemoration Day’.

“On ‘Police Commemoration Day ‘, Nation salutes the valour of our police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty. Their sacrifice for the motherland would always be remembered,” the Home Minister said.

“There’s a positive change in internal security of nation. Earlier, there were big incidents in northeast, Kashmir & left-wing extremism-affected areas. Earlier, armed forces were given special power, now youth is given special powers for their progress,” Union HM Amit Shah added.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah further said, “Under PM Modi’s vision, several measures have been undertaken to strengthen the internal security of country.”

‘Police Commemoration Day’ is observed every year in memory of ten valiant Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) killed during patrol duty in an ambush by heavily armed Chinese troops in Hot Springs, Ladakh on October 21, 1959.

According to available data with the Ministry of Home Affairs, a total of 307 Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Assam Rifles (AR) personnel have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty in the last five years.
