"Our troops, few days back, have given a befitting reply to the expansionist
activities of our neighbouring country and neutralised their attempt successfully."

"This gave a message that India will never compromise on its sovereignty and
security," the minister said.

He did not name the country but his indication was towards China and the over a
year-long military standoff between the two countries in Ladakh and other
regions.

Mr Rai lauded the police forces for their bravery and valour, saying they have
always risen to the challenges posed by "anti-national powers".

Praising the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Mr Rai said the force tasked to
guard the 3,488-km LAC made an important contribution to this action along the
China front.

The minister said the police forces and special units like the National Disaster
Response Force (NDRF) are the first to "lend a helping hand" during disasters and
their capabilities in this area need to be further strengthened.

He said India has got "stronger in every way" and the "morale has gone up" under
the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He along with another MoS in the Home Ministry Ajay Kumar Mishra, and chiefs of
various police organisations and forces laid a wreath at the police memorial in
honour of the personnel killed in the line of duty.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director Arvind Kumar read out some names and figures
to state that 377 state police and central armed police forces (CAPFs) personnel
were killed in action during the last year.

He added that 2,458 police personnel died due to coronavirus infection.

Since Independence, 35,780 (till August 2020) police personnel have laid down
their lives in the service of the nation, he said.

The day is observed to pay homage to 10 policemen (belonging to the Central

Reserve Police Force) who were killed on October 21 in 1959 in an ambush by
Chinese troops in Ladakh's Hot Spring area.

A ceremonial guard of honour was presented by police personnel drawn from

various forces during the event that was attended by officials from various police
organisations and the CAPFs.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in a Twitter message that the nation bows to
the brave police personnel who laid down their lives to protect the country.

"The police force is an amazing example of courage, restraint and diligence. The
sacrifice and dedication of every policeman inspires us to serve the nation," Mr
Shah said.

He was supposed to attend the event here but he travelled to Uttarakhand to take
stock of the recent rain and floods fury that has claimed at least 52 lives till now.
