Honouring the Police Force – Where India Stands

It also bears testimony to an incident which took place 60 years ago in Ladakh.

We examine that aspect in this article.

On 21st October 1959, the Chinese army without any provocation or warning attacked a small CRPF patrol party in the Akshai Chin region the northern-most part of India's 2,500-mile long border with Tibet.

Even though the CRPF patrol party was heavily outnumbered, both in terms of men and machinery, they launched an audacious counter-attack and managed to stall any further advance by the Chinese soldiers.

In the ensuing battle, 10 CRPF men made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

Since independence, about 35,000 police personnel have been killed in action and during the last year (September 2018 to August 2019) a total of 292 personnel have laid down their lives or died due to unnatural reasons while on duty.
