Police Commemoration Day is observed annually on October 21 throughout India to commemorate the sacrifices of police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty. The significance of this date dates back to 1959 when ten Indian policemen were ambushed and killed by the Chinese Army at Hot Springs in Ladakh. In recognition of their bravery, the DGsP/IGsP Conference of 1962 declared October 21 as a national day of remembrance for their valor and sacrifice.
