India is set to make history as it prepares to host the 2029 World Police and Fire Games, a milestone hailed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah as a proud moment for the nation. Ahmedabad, a burgeoning hub for sports, has been selected as the event's venue.

Since their inception in 1985, these prestigious games have showcased the talents of serving and retired police, fire, and emergency personnel from around the world. The Indian police contingent, a formidable presence since its debut in the 2007 Adelaide games, has secured over 1,400 medals in just eight editions.

Hosting the games in 2029 highlights India's growing prominence in international sports, a development Shah attributes to the country's robust sports infrastructure under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. The announcement elevates India's status on the global stage, further positioning Ahmedabad as a key sporting destination.
