Which police force was conferred the President's Colour on its Diamond Jubilee on 1 November 2026?
- A.Punjab Police
- B.Haryana Police
- C.Chandigarh Police
- D.Delhi Police
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Chandigarh Police. The honour was conferred on the force on 1 November 2026, the day Chandigarh marks its foundation day, at a ceremony held for the Diamond Jubilee of the force. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah attended as chief guest, and the Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, Gulab Chand Kataria, was among those present. Option A, the Punjab Police, is wrong: Punjab is only named as the state next door whose police the Chandigarh force coordinates with in the tri-city area, and as the state whose Governor administers the Union Territory. Option B, the Haryana Police, is wrong for the same reason, as Haryana shares Chandigarh as its capital and its police work alongside the honoured force. Option D, the Delhi Police, does not figure in the ceremony at all. The award was described as recognition of six decades of service, dedication and sensitivity by the Chandigarh Police since 1966.
