Excitement builds in Gujarat as 16 police heroes gear up for Republic Day glory with President’s Medals, courtesy of the Union Home Ministry’s Sunday declaration. Emanating from New Delhi and Gandhinagar, this news heralds a new chapter of pride for the state’s guardians of law.
Leading the pack, IPS officers Nipun Thorawne—now ADGP and Home ACS—and SS Raghuvanshi bag the top-tier PSM for unparalleled service in operational command and policy execution. Their journeys exemplify visionary leadership amid evolving threats.
Complementing them, 14 MSM winners from intelligence, surveillance, correctional services, transport, maritime security, city outfits in Ahmedabad-Surat-Rajkot, and reserves showcase rank-file synergy. This diversity underscores comprehensive departmental prowess.
From dismantling terror networks and intel breakthroughs to slashing crime, mastering crises, upgrading prisons, and stabilizing communities—their feats are legendary. DGP Dr. KLN Rao’s congratulations rang loud: “This validates our commitment, spurring greater service.”
Echoing from the Home Department, accolades pour in, positioning Gujarat Police as a national exemplar. On January 26, as President Droupadi Murmu bestows these, it reaffirms that true heroism thrives in dedication, paving the way for safer horizons ahead.
