CHENNAI: Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday paid floral tributes at the Police Memorial located within the DGP headquarters in Chennai on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day, honouring the bravery and sacrifice of police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty.
Police Commemoration Day is observed across India every year on October 21 to pay homage to the valour of ten Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel who were killed in an ambush by Chinese troops at Hot Springs in Ladakh on October 21, 1959.
The attack occurred at an altitude of 16, 000 feet, where the soldiers fought valiantly before being martyred.
