इंटरपोल माने पूरी दुनिया की पुलिस.

INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police organization, with 188 member countries. Created in 1923, it facilitates cross-border police co-operation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime.
INTERPOL aims to facilitate international police co-operation even where diplomatic relations do not exist between particular countries. Action is taken within the limits of existing laws in different countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. INTERPOL’s constitution prohibits ‘any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.’

POLICE BEAT PATROL - पुलिस की गश्त

The stamp depicts the fundamental police activity, namely, patrolling the civilian areas night and day, in cities and villages, so that crimes may not occur, and the lurking criminal is caught.

 

The concept of organised Police activity in India is of recent origin although we do find sonic references to an incipient police technology operating in ancient India. The term "Police" is now used to denote a body of people organised to maintain civil order and to investigate breaches of the law. The police function is universal in society though it is only in the larger and more complex society of modern times that full time officials are appointed with special police responsibility, regulated by law.

In ancient India amongst the first descriptions of a police activity, we find a reference in the epic Ramayana. Hanuman was sent by Lord Rama to the city of Lanka for reconnaissance. On returning from Lanka, (Sundara Kanda IV:16) Hanuman described to Lord Rama, among other things, the opulence of the city and referred to a system of patrolling of the streets of Lanka by persons carrying sticks "Dandayu-dhadharas". These persons under took duties of keeping the street clear of un- wanted traffic.

When the Mughals came to India to rule, they organised the ‘Kotwal’ system. Earlier the ancient text of Kautilya's "Arthasastra" advised the king to develop an efficient system of espionage as an instrument of administration. This was also a kind of police activity.

The system of policing as we know it today was first brought into force in India by the East India Company after the uprising of l857 when it was realised that the territories governed by the East India Company and thereafter by the Government in England, required an efficient system of jurisprudence and a machinery to enforce the law. In 1860 the House of Commons in England passed the Indian Police Act, 1861 and at the same time enacted the Indian Penal Code.

The Indian police system was established on the basis of the acts promulgated in India in the 1860’s as mentioned above.

The police today are the primary civil agency in the welfare state to serve the people in protecting their life and property. Various state agencies have been set up to achieve these social objectives. The policeman guards the international borders as an aid to the Defence Forces, patrols the seas and the rivers and in the performance of its duties resorts to such exotic devices as sending messages by using pigeons as couriers in the jungles of Orissa.

Every year a large number of policemen lay down their lives in the course of their duties. Since 1947 more than 27,000 policemen have already made the supreme sacrifice to ensure social peace and stability.

Every year on the 21st of October, the Nation's Police Force remembers its martyrs, who laid down their lives to secure the society from the depredation of criminals. It was on the 21st October 1960 that a police party patrolling the Himalayan heights in Ladakh was ambushed by a Chinese Military group in which 26 policemen were killed. The police party was patrolling territories well within the international border. This day is remembered as the Commemoration Day when police parades ate organised in all the states, and homage is paid to those who laid down their lives while performing duty.

Indian Posts & Telegraphs Department is happy to issue a stamp on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day.

The Central Reserve Police Force was created on July 27, 1939, as Crown Representative Police at Neemuch (M.P.) with one Battalion mainly to assist the Princely states to maintain law and order. After independence, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Home Minister, visualised a multi-dimensional role for the Force and rechristened it as Central Reserve Police Force.

Since inception the Force has been assisting the states in the maintenance of law and order with great success. In the pre-independence era the Force was deployed in Sind (1942-44) to deal with the Hur menace. The Force was presented colours by the President in 1950 in recognition of its glorious record of service. From 1950-59, the Force was widely used to defend the borders against Pakistani intruders, and in the agitation in Kashmir valley. It faced the first brunt of the Chinese attack in 1959, when ten of its personnel laid down their lives fighting the Chinese on 21.10.59 at Hot Springs. In their memory October 21 is observed as Police Commemoration Day all over the country. In 1965, the Force repulsed the Pakistani attack at Sardar Post in Rann-of-Kutch. It fought shoulder to shoulder with the Army in the 1971 war against Pakistan for the liberation of Bangla Desh. Besides, the Force has been of very effective assistance in fighting divisive, disruptive and communal forces threatening the unity and integrity of the country, particularly the insurgency in the Northeast, Naxalism in West Bengal, Bihar, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh and terrorism in Punjab. It is also assisting the IPKF in Sri Lanka. It has captured over 4263 weapons since 1983. The Force has the reputation of impartiality in assisting in the conduct of General Elections and providing relief and rescue during natural calamities and disasters.

For the various achievements, gallantry and sacrifices the Force personnel have been awarded 107 President's Police Medals, 216 Police Medals, One Padma Shri, One Vir Chakra, 3 Sena Medals and 54 Life Saving Medal. It has also won laurels in the field of sports and has Olympians in its ranks.

Its strength now exceeds one lakh twenty thousand, comprising 98 battalions apart from 19 group centres, training institutions, work shops, hospitals etc. It also has the distinction of raising the first ever Mahila Battalion.

125th ANNIVERSARY OF INDIAN POLICE - Postal Stamp

The police in India came into being as an organised body of men by Act V of 1861. This year, the country is observing 125 years of organised policing.

The Moghul system of policing continued during the early years of the East India Company. Several enquiries were instituted and committees appointed by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, which accepted in September 1954, the need for re-organising the police. After the first Independence war of 1857, the Government of India appointed a Commission in 1860 to suggest measures for increasing the efficiency of the police in British India.

The 1860 Commission recommended the abolition of the Military Police as a separate organisation to be replaced by a well-organised civil constabulary under an Inspector General of Police with a Superintendent of Police at District level assisted by an Assistant Superintendent of Police. The subordinate force was to consist of Inspectors, Head Constables, Sergeants and Constables. The police was to be under the general control of the District Magistrate. In I960, the House of Commons in England passed the Police Act and the Indian Penal Code and the Indian Police legally came into being in 1861.

In the federal structure of the Constitution of India which came into force on January 26, 1950, public order and the Police were included in the Seventh Schedule on the State list.

Although the police in our country have been organised State-wise and are controlled and financed by the State Governments, the Central Government has a vital role to play in the improvement of training, welfare and efficiency of policemen all over the country. The Central Government have accordingly set up a number of police training institutions, Forensic Science Laboratories and the Central Finger Print Bureau, the Bureau of Police Research and Development, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the National Crime Records Bureau and a number of paramilitary forces like the Border Security Force and the Central Reserve Police in aid of the State police forces.

In 1960, all the states in India decided to observe October 21 every year as a remembrance day to pay homage to the policemen who were killed on duty. On this day members of the public and the Police recall the tragedy of October 21st, 1959 when 10 Indian policemen were killed by the Chinese troops in Ladakh inside our territory.
