CUTTACK/BHUBANESWAR: A total 67 Police Medals for Gallantry have been announced for Odisha Police personnel on Independence Day eve, by Government of India today. We thank Government of India for this recognition of valour and courage of Odisha Police personnel. This is the highest number of medals on one occasion announced for Odisha Police. It is a matter of pride and celebration for us.
The incidents of valiant action were exchange of fire with LWE personnel on nine different occasions. While we celebrate the valour and bravery of our men and remember the sacrifice of our martyrs, we appeal to Maoists to lay down their arms and join the mainstream.
