Mumbai, 21 Oct 2014: Maharashtra Governor Vidyasagar Rao laid a wreath at the Police Martyr’s memorial at police headquarters at Naigaon, here on Tuesday October 21, on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day.

 

The Governor read out a message paying tribute to the police officers and personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty on this occasion. Names of police martyrs during the year 2013-14 were read out. The parade presented ‘Shok Shastra’ and fired three rounds on this occasion.

 

The state chief secretary Swadheen Kshtriya, additional chief secretary Amitabh Rajan, DGP Sanjeev Dayal, Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria and other officers and police personnel were present on the occasion.

 

 

The history of commemoration Day traces back to October 21 1959, when a patrol party of CRPF, led by sub-inspector Karan Singh was ambushed by the Chinese forces at Hot Springs Ladakh and 10 jawans were killed. The bravery and resultant sacrifice of jawans fighting at 16,000 feet altitude, in extremely cold conditions and against all odds, is an epitome of the rarest of the rare courage.

 

On October 21 every year, the Commemoration Parade is being held as a mark of respect to police martyrs, who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The arms are reversed and two minutes silence is observed in the honor of the departed souls. The names of police martyrs are read out, to acknowledge the supreme sacrifices made by them.
