Good response to Police Martyrs Memorial Run
Hyderabad: The second Indian Police Martyrs Memorial Run-2017 was organised by state police in association with central armed police forces and the Central Police Organisations here on Sunday. Governor ESL Narsimhan flagged off the run at People’s Plaza, Necklace Road. About 8,000 participants and central police and those from various states participated in the event. Addressing the gathering, he said, “The run for Police Martyrs marks an important day. The crowd should go back home and talk about the great policemen. The idea to conduct the run is to build up fraternity within the public and police. Self-policing is the best form of policing. An external force can work up to a limit. Police did their best in association with the public during floods, natural disasters and traffic accidents. Treat them as best friends.’’DGP Anurag Sharma said policemen sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
