No.F.14018/1/25-PR/18 Dated: Aizawl, the 21st January, 2026 : The 54th Anniversary of Mizoram Police Raising Day was celebrated on 21st January 2026 at 11:00 AM, at GS Arya Mess, Police Headquarters, Aizawl. The programme commemorated the proud legacy, unwavering discipline, and dedicated service of the Mizoram Police to the people and the State.

The first Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mizoram, I.J. Verma, IPS took charge of the office of IGP on 21.01.1972. Hence 21st January, 1972 is officially adopted as the Mizoram Police Raising Day and 21 January, 2026 marks the 54th anniversary of Mizoram Police.

The Raising Day celebration commenced with the Mizoram Police Anthem, followed by a special musical performance by the Mizoram Police Unity Band.
