New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday remembered Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel during the 73rd Raising Day Parade of Delhi Police in New Delhi.
“It is a matter of pride that the Delhi police was started by the Iron Man of India, Sardar Patel, himself. I am certain it still provides inspiration to the entire organisation,” Shah said.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent positive comments must have inspired every police officer of Delhi police. We must also remember that over 35,0000 policemen have laid their lives for the security of the nation. He acknowledged the sacrifices of these police personnel and built a National Police Memorial in Delhi. It lays the testimony of these sacrifices.”
Shah appreciated the efforts of Delhi police’s new schemes in a bid to reduce crime in the region.
“Delhi Police has initiated the smart policing scheme, Dial 112 scheme under the Nirbhaya Fund of Government of India and have also started the National Cyber Forensic Lab to help citizens from cybercrimes.”
