WARRIORSREMEMBERED

A homage to the brave men and women

from the Central Reserve Police Force who

laid down their lives in the line of duty

WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 2 1991-1997‘Warriors Remembered’, a compendium of four volumes, is an

endeavour by the Force to compile the heroic deeds as well as

the personal details of 2014 brave men and women of the Central

Reserve Police Force who have made the supreme sacrifi ce in

the line of duty, both in India and overseas. The previous compila-

tion was published in 2000. Much has happened since then, and

therefore, it was important that their brave deeds are immortalized

before they fade from our memories. The Hon’ble Prime Minister

Shri Narendra Modi had also called upon the police forces of the

country to enlighten the people about the contribution that the

brave men and women of these forces have made to the nation.

With an enormous and a diverse history of 76 years (1939- 2015),

preserving records has been a challenge owing in part to the

nomadic nature of the Force. Therefore, a great deal of effort and

perseverance has gone into painstakingly compiling the details

of those who had laid down their lives in the line of duty. Memo-

ries were rekindled and records revisited to ensure fi delity of the

narratives as well as other details. While family members would

be given a copy to be preserved for posterity, readers would be

enlightened about the brave deeds of the personnel of the Central

Reserve Police Force.

WARRIORSREMEMBERED

A homage to the brave men and women

from the Central Reserve Police Force who

laid down their lives in the line of duty

WARRIORSREMEMBEREDVol 2 1991-1997‘Warriors Remembered’, a compendium of four volumes, is an

endeavour by the Force to compile the heroic deeds as well as

the personal details of 2014 brave men and women of the Central

Reserve Police Force who have made the supreme sacrifi ce in

the line of duty, both in India and overseas. The previous compila-

tion was published in 2000. Much has happened since then, and

therefore, it was important that their brave deeds are immortalized

before they fade from our memories. The Hon’ble Prime Minister

Shri Narendra Modi had also called upon the police forces of the

country to enlighten the people about the contribution that the

brave men and women of these forces have made to the nation.

With an enormous and a diverse history of 76 years (1939- 2015),

preserving records has been a challenge owing in part to the

nomadic nature of the Force. Therefore, a great deal of effort and

perseverance has gone into painstakingly compiling the details

of those who had laid down their lives in the line of duty. Memo-

ries were rekindled and records revisited to ensure fi delity of the

narratives as well as other details. While family members would

be given a copy to be preserved for posterity, readers would be

enlightened about the brave deeds of the personnel of the Central

Reserve Police Force.
