The district police of South West Garo Hills solemnly observed Police Commemoration Day today at the office premises of the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Ampati to honour the ultimate sacrifice of police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The event featured a Sok Parade, a gun salute, and the laying of wreaths as tributes to the martyrs.
Speaking at the occasion, Superintendent of Police, Billy Graham Marak highlighted the significance of the day, reflecting on the tragic events of 1959 when a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) patrol was ambushed by Chinese forces in Ladakh, resulting in the deaths of ten Indian policemen.
Marak stressed the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers to ensure the safety and security of the nation.
Deputy Superintendent of Police SP (Headquarters) Ravi K. Sangma honoured the fallen heroes by reading the names of 213 police personnel from across the country who made the ultimate sacrifice between September 1, 2023 and August 31, 2024. These officers gave their lives in the line of duty to protect the nation and its people.
The ceremony served as a poignant reminder of the bravery, dedication, and selflessness demonstrated by the police force in their commitment to uphold law and order.
