“On the solemn occasion of Police Commemoration Day, I salute the heroic police officers who sacrificed their lives to safeguard the country’s peace and convey my deepest sympathies to the members of their families. The entire nation is indebted to the martyrs of Punjab Police who laid down their lives to preserve the country’s historic grandeur, territorial integrity, law and order in the face of ruthless ambitions of the anti national elements. It is our duty to offer salutation to the heroic police officers “ said Dr Sandeep Garg, IPS, SSP, SAS Nagar (Mohali).
On 21st October every year, commemoration Parades are held in all police units as a mark of respect to brave police martyrs, who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The arms are reversed and two minutes silence is observed in the honour of the departed souls. The names of police martyrs of states, police and paramilitary forces are read out, to acknowledge with pride the supreme sacrifices made by them. The history of commemoration day traces back to 21st October 1959, when a patrol party of CRPF, led by SI Karam 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 ft. altitude, in extremely cold conditions and against all odds, is an epitome of the rarest of the rare courage Indo-Tibetan Border Police sends a representative party of all police forces, of the country, to Hot springs, Ladakh every year to pay homage to the martyrs who laid down their lives on 21st Oct, 1959 while guarding national frontiers.
