Viral Video: Many people often overlook the challenging duties of police officers, not realising how tough their job can be. They work tirelessly, 24/7, whether it’s in the scorching heat or during heavy rain. Despite the hardships, they are always there to protect the public, often putting their lives on the line. Police personnel leave behind their families and loved ones to serve the nation. As we mark Police Commemoration Day 2024, celebrated annually on October 21, it’s important to reflect on their sacrifices and heroism. One recent incident involving a Gujarat cop highlights this perfectly.
Viral Video: Gujarat Cop’s Quick Thinking Saves a Life
A video recently shared by the Gujarat Police on X (formerly Twitter) has captured the attention of many. In this viral video, a man was trying to board a moving train when he lost his balance and fell dangerously close to the tracks. Fortunately, a Gujarat cop was nearby. The officer reacted quickly, rushing to the man’s aid. He dragged him away from the moving train, ultimately saving his life.
This video, uploaded on October 3, 2024, has since gone viral, with people across social media praising the officer’s bravery. One user commented, “Cops are always safeguarding the public. Hats off to the Gujarat Police and the officer involved for saving a life.” Another added, “The officer was alert and acted swiftly. We owe him our thanks!”
Everyday Heroism of Our Police Officers
This is just one of the countless instances where police officers step in to protect the public. On Police Commemoration Day, we remember not only the officers who perform heroic acts like this but also those who have laid down their lives in service to the country. Their bravery often goes unnoticed, yet their actions are vital to public safety.
Why October 21 is Celebrated as Police Commemoration Day
In India, October 21, which is Police Commemoration Day, is a noteworthy day. Following a terrible event on the Indo-Tibetan border in 1959, in which Chinese soldiers ambushed a group of Indian police officers, the observation commenced. Ten officers were martyred that day, and their sacrifice has been remembered annually ever since. It serves as a reminder of the ultimate price many officers pay in the line of duty.
