Which police force was presented the President's Colour at Panaji on 7 September 2026?

  1. A.Maharashtra Police
  2. B.Goa Police
  3. C.Kerala Police
  4. D.Karnataka Police

Correct answer

B. Goa Police

Explanation

The correct answer is Goa Police. The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation presented the President's Colour to this force at Panaji, the capital of Goa, saying that after eight decades of distinguished service it now stands alongside the other police forces of the country that carry this honour. The other options name police forces of neighbouring or nearby States that did not receive it on this occasion, and a candidate who remembers only the western coast rather than the exact State will fall for one of them. Remember what the honour signifies: it is given for a glorious history, professional excellence, courage, discipline and dedication, and the Home Minister linked it with the three duties of the Goa Police, a safe city, a safe community and a secure maritime border. He also paid homage to four personnel who died in the line of duty.
