PM Modi asked all the dignitaries at the 90th Interpol General Assembly in Pragati Maidan to visit the National Police Memorial and the National War Memorial in New Delhi to honour the heroes who died to keep India safe.

Last year, Interpol’s 90th General Assembly was held in New Delhi from October 18 to 21. Delegations from 195 member countries, including Ministers, heads of police and intelligence services, heads of national central bureaus, and senior police officers, were there.

PM Modi also said that he hoped the 90th Interpol General Assembly would be a place where crime, corruption, and terrorism could be dealt with in a good way. “Let communication, collaboration, and working together beat crime, corruption, and terrorism,” the Prime Minister said as he ended his speech.

The Prime Minister talked about how bad transnational terrorism is and said that India has been fighting it for decades, even before the rest of the world knew what it was. “We knew what it cost to be safe and sound. “In this fight, thousands of our people gave their lives,” Modi said.

On Police Commemoration Day (October 21, 2018), Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the National Police Memorial to the whole country. The Memorial gives the Police Forces a sense of national identity, pride, unity of purpose, and a shared history and future.

Every year, a day called “Police Commemoration Day” is set aside to remember the brave Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) members who died in an ambush by heavily armed Chinese troops in Hot Springs, Ladakh, on October 21, 1959, while on patrol duty.

In 1992, the Ministry of Home Affairs agreed to build a National Police Memorial in Delhi to honour the police officers who gave their lives in the line of duty to protect the country.

A Central Sculpture, the Wall of Valor, and an underground Museum are all parts of the Memorial. As you walk up to the site, the flower-covered ramparts and two large flower-covered bowls placed in a symmetrical way show that the spirit of the Police martyrs will never die and that they were very dedicated.

The BSF said on Monday, “This is the first time that the BSF Mahila Camel Riders will march on Kartavya Path as part of the BSF Camel Contingent during the Republic Day Parade.”

When these women ride camels in a parade, they will wear royal ceremonial uniforms made just for them. A well-known fashion designer put together uniforms that show off the many valuable crafts of India. They will have the iconic Jodhpuri bandhgala and a classic and elegant long tunic.

The BSF said that the 400-year-old Danka method is used to make the zardosi work on the textured fabric from Benaras that is used for different trims.

The striking Pagh is a turban that is based on the traditional Pagh of the Mewar region of Rajasthan. It is worn with the uniform. Since 1976, the BSF camel group has taken part in the Republic Day parade.

The group usually has 90 camels, 54 of which carry troops and the rest carry band members.

The Camel contingent also takes part in the Beating the Retreat ceremony, which is held three days after Republic Day, on January 29.

The BSF is the only force in the country that uses camels both in combat and for ceremonies Bordermen, which is what the BSF people are called, ride these camels to patrol the Thar Desert along the border with Pakistan.

Sources say that the women are used for all kinds of operational tasks, such as patrolling the zero line and working at night observation posts. Under its water wing, the Force has also put all-women floating Border Out Posts (BOPs) along the border between India and Bangladesh. The BSF also has a motorcycle team made up of only women called Seema Bhawani.
