The Story in Brief
Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday presented the President's Colour to the Puducherry Police at the Armed Police Ground in Gorimedu. The honour, announced by President Droupadi Murmu on May 8, recognises the force's exceptional service, discipline and distinguished achievements. Lt Governor K Kailashnathan and chief minister N Rangasamy attended the ceremony. The President's Colour is the highest honour given to a military unit or state police force.
Past recipients include the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard and several state police departments. Puducherry's DGP Shalini Singh was also present at the event.
The Indian Opinion
The President's Colour is a rare honour, but the ceremony risks being seen as a photo op unless it reflects real improvement in policing. Puducherry's force has faced criticism for low conviction rates and political interference. The award should be a test of accountability, not just a ribbon. Will the state now see better community policing and faster investigations? That is the only measure that matters.
