Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami Unveils New Flag, Insignia, and Ceremonial Dress for Uttarakhand Police

In a landmark step toward modernizing state identity and honoring departmental heritage, Honorable Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, unveiled the new flag, official emblem, formation sign, insignia, crest, and ceremonial uniform for the Uttarakhand Police during a ceremony organized at the Chief Minister's Residence Auditorium. As part of the proceedings, the Chief Minister also administered the Oath of National Unity to all attendees.  

The revised emblem incorporates the iconic Ashok Stambha, the national motto ‘Satyamev Jayate’, a golden laurel wreath, and visual representations of the Himalayas and state rivers. Together, these symbols signify national pride, truth, justice, operational excellence, and the distinct geographical identity of Uttarakhand.  

Replacing the previous horizontal tri-color flag, the police force has adopted a new dark blue background flag featuring the updated emblem centered between red and gold borders. Additionally, all uniform accessories—including formation signs, insignias, and crests—have been aligned with the new design language. The ceremonial uniform has also been refreshed by incorporating a multi-colored ceremonial sash, traditional embellishments, and specialized parade trimmings into the classic khaki attire.  

The original Uttarakhand Police flag was unveiled on April 4, 2008. To address evolving security challenges and the expanding responsibilities of the force, these modernized symbols were drafted and subsequently received approval from CM Dhami on October 21, 2026.
