Following this, family members of the martyrs were specially honored.

SSP Gagan Ajit Singh said that the supreme sacrifices made by police personnel for the peace and tranquillity of the nation and the state can never be forgotten. He expressed pride in the martyrs who laid down their lives without caring for their own lives, standing guard at the borders to protect the nation.
