Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah today presented the President’s Colour to the Uttarakhand Police in Dehradun. On this occasion, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, along with several other dignitaries, was present.

Addressing the President’s Colour investiture ceremony, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah congratulated the Uttarakhand Police on receiving the President’s Colour and said that Uttarakhand Police has become the 16th force in the country to receive this highest honour. He said that this is a moment of immense pride for all those jawans and officers who have served in the Uttarakhand Police over the past 25 years since the formation of the state, those currently serving, and those who have retired.

Shri Amit Shah said that Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is endowed with natural beauty. Its snow-clad peaks, beautiful lakes, dense forests, elephant safaris, and the origins of Mother Ganga and Yamuna attract tourists from across the world. At the same time, Lord Badrinath himself resides here, Baba Kedarnath protects us, and the two mother goddesses emerging from Gangotri and Yamunotri not only bring prosperity to the lives of crores of people but also elevate them spiritually.

Shri Shah said that Hemkund Sahib, described by the tenth Sikh Guru, is a major centre of attraction not only for Sikh devotees but for all pilgrims. Along with so many pilgrimage sites, the responsibility of ensuring the safety of lakhs of pilgrims who visit the prestigious Kumbh Mela, the annual Char Dham Yatra, Hemkund Sahib, and Kainchi Dham rests with the jawans of the Uttarakhand Police.
