The 1959 incident commemorated on Police Commemoration Day took place at which location?

Last Updated:

AChushul in Ladakh
BTawang in Arunachal Pradesh
CNathu La in Sikkim
DHot Springs in Ladakh
Correct Answer: D. Hot Springs in Ladakh

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: D — Hot Springs in Ladakh. Hot Springs is the location identified in the official account. Do not replace it with another Himalayan border location simply because it is better known. The incident happened in 1959, so linking this remembrance only to the 1962 war would also mix two different historical events. 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 The historical reference is the sacrifice of ten CRPF personnel at Hot Springs in Ladakh on 21 October 1959.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. Official source: Press Information Bureau
