Reacting to the honour, SSP Mahatta expressed heartfelt gratitude, calling the recognition ‘a collective achievement of my team in Cachar police.’ He added, “Day and night, our officers and personnel work under challenging conditions, be it for crime prevention, disaster response, or community safety.
