The Annual Conference of Inspectors General of Police decided in January 1960 to mark October 21 as Police Commemoration Day in remembrance of these courageous police officers who gave their lives and to honour all police officers serving the country both domestically and abroad.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the National Police Memorial in New Delhi to the country on this day in 2018. The memorial’s three primary components include a police museum that shows the development of Indian policing throughout history, a Wall of Valour that lists the names of martyred policemen, and a symbol of strength and resilience from the Basha attack scene. It serves as a place where people gather to honour both citizens and police officers.
A memorial was built at Hot Springs in Ladakh in memory of the martyred police personnel. The epitaph engraved on the memorial reads:
‘When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.’
