...Lest we
forget
 Chandigarh, October 20
National Police Day is celebrated on October 21 every year but very
little emphasis is laid on the historical aspect of this day. When talk
of ‘Hindi-Chini bhai-bhai was in the air and when principles of
Panchsheel were taking shape, China surprised us on this day in 1959. A
police party led by D.S.P. Karam Singh, which was on routine patrol 40
k.m. within Indian Territory in the Hot Springs area, faced unprovoked
firing from the Chinese entrenched on hills and scattered on other side
of Chang Chenmo river.
