Police Commemoration Week from today

Hanamkonda: The Warangal Police Commissioner G Sudheer Babu on Saturday urged the people to observe Police Commemoration Week commencing on Sunday in remembrance of those personnel who sacrificed their lives while discharging their duties.

“It is time to honour the supreme sacrifices of the police that largely go unnoticed. The onus is on people to acknowledge the role of the police in the nation’s development,” Sudheer Babu said. As many as 61 policemen lost their lives while discharging their duties in the erstwhile district of Warangal, he added. As part of the commemoration week, the Commissionerate is organising Open House that includes demonstration of bomb disposal, CLUES, fingerprints, dog squad and communication systems in each police station. The Open House shall remain open for visitors till October 21 between 11 am and 7 pm and the entry is free for all.

This apart, the Commissionerate is also conducting various competitions – essay writing, drawing, etc. Those who finished in first three places will be awarded prizes on October 21. The police are also organising blood donation camps in Janagaon, Warangal Rural and Urban districts. The other programmes: 5-K Run at 6 am on October 16; Candle Rally from Ashoka Junction to Police Headquarters at 7 am on October 17. The Commemoration Week will conclude on October 21 with the attendees paying tribute at the Police Memorial.
