On which date was Police Commemoration Day observed in India in 2026?
Last Updated:
A15 January
B21 October
C31 October
D4 December
Correct Answer: B. 21 October
Introduction
Police Commemoration Day connects an annual national observance with the history of police service. Study the date, original incident and memorial separately to avoid confusing a commemorative day with a force anniversary.
Explanation
Correct answer: B — 21 October. 21 October is the annual date associated with this remembrance. The question asks for the commemorative date rather than the date on which a particular police organisation was established. Choosing a date merely because it is associated with national security would miss the specific historical connection. The 2026 ceremony took place at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi. The historical reference is the sacrifice of ten CRPF personnel at Hot Springs in Ladakh on 21 October 1959. The observance honours personnel who died while performing their duties.
