The award, instituted by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, recognises police personnel for outstanding performance in areas such as investigation, intelligence gathering and specialised operations.
Debbarma’s selection has brought recognition to the Tripura Police force, with officials and colleagues acknowledging her professional commitment and contribution to investigative work.
She was chosen for her performance in handling investigative responsibilities and maintaining professional standards in policing. The award seeks to recognise officers whose diligence, competence and dedication contribute to effective law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
The national honour places Debbarma among police personnel from across the country recognised for their work in strengthening policing and ensuring the effective handling of cases.
Police officials said the recognition would encourage other personnel in the state to improve their professional capabilities and maintain high standards while discharging their duties.
