Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday paid homage to the martyrs on Police Commemoration Day at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi.

On the 21st of October, 1959, ten valiant Policemen laid down their lives in an ambush laid by heavily armed Chinese troops at Hot Springs, Ladakh. The day is observed in commemoration of these martyrs and of all other Police personnel killed on duty.

In recognition of the sacrifices made by Police personnel and their paramount role in preserving national security and integrity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the National Police Memorial to the nation in 2018.

The Memorial gives Police Forces a sense of national identity, pride, and unity of purpose, besides reinforcing their commitment to protect the nation even at the cost of their lives
