The official STF document specifically lists seven personnel for gallantry recognition in connection with three encounters, including the two operations highlighted in the award list. It states that the personnel were honoured for displaying “indomitable courage” in the discharge of their duties.
On Independence Day, 12 officers of the Uttar Pradesh Police will be awarded the President's Medal for Gallantry. Another 81 police personnel will also be honored with the President's Police Medal for Distinguished and Meritorious Service.
