In November 2026 the Uttarakhand Police received the President's Colour. It became the how-manyth police force in India to receive this honour?

  1. A.12th
  2. B.14th
  3. C.16th
  4. D.18th

Correct answer

C. 16th

Explanation

The correct answer is 16th. Union Home Minister Amit Shah presented the President's Colour to the Uttarakhand Police at an investiture ceremony in Dehradun on 6 November 2026, and said the force had become the 16th in the country to receive this highest honour. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was present. Shah dedicated the honour to the 206 personnel of the force who made the supreme sacrifice, and noted that the force, whose motto is 'Karm Satyam Shauryam', earned it within the roughly 25 years since the state was formed. The 12th and 14th, in options A and B, are lower than the count given at the ceremony, so they would wrongly suggest that fewer forces hold the President's Colour. The 18th, in option D, overstates the number. Only the 16th matches the position the Home Minister announced for the Uttarakhand Police.
