The Police Commemoration Day is observed every year on October 21st to pay homage to police martyrs. The day commemorates supreme sacrifices of ten policemen while defending borders with China in 1959.
So far since Independence, 34,418 police personnel have sacrificed their lives for safeguarding the integrity of nation and providing security to people of this country.
This day was observed in all Police Lines throughout the country to mark memory of these gallant police personnel killed on duty during the year.
