Honouring the Noble Aegis. Suraksha – Honouring Our Noble Guardians Suraksha – Honouring Our Noble Guardians Have you ever thought about the people who work every day to keep us safe? When we go to school, hang out with friends, or even just go about our daily lives, we do so in safety because someone is looking out for us. That someone is the police—the people who protect our streets, respond to emergencies, and make sure that everyone follows the rules.
