SHIMLA:  “Harmony of the Pines” orchestra of Himachal Police has made waves on the popular TV Show. Orchestra  has figured among the top 12 ‘Hunarbaaz Desh Ke’ of the  TV show being hosted by Colour TV.   

Director General of Police, Himachal Pradesh Sanjay Kundu has granted commendation certificate class-1 with cash reward of Rs. 17,000 to the 15 police personnel participating in the Colour TV show to boost their morale.  

Last week HP police band earned standing ovation from the TV show judges including  Bollywood producers and directors  Rajiv Shetty, Karan Johar, Mithun Chakravarty, Parineeti Chopra and TV hosts. They played the heart- warming harmonies by singing the popular "Sandeshe Aate Hain.. '  number .  This number brought them to the top 12 Hunars on the show.  

Harmonies of Pines have been performing in all shows in festivals in Himachal Pradesh and won hearts of the people of state and tourists.  The image of police has also got a makeover: police are not only the "hardy personnel in khaki", they also have their heart of music that has even  sweeter melodies to share with the non-khaki world, say the artistes.   

DGP said Himachal Pradesh Police Orchestra team has been selected in top 12 of “Hunarbaaz Desh Ki Shaan” by the judges of the show, which has enhanced the prestige of H.P. Police and Himachal Pradesh.

DGP said Colours TV is telecasting a nation-wide talent show named “Hunarbaaz Desh Ki Shaan”, which showcases “ hunar” or “talent” from all across the country. Himachal Pradesh Police Orchestra team named “Harmony of the Pines” is also participating in this show.  This will boost morale of the police orchestra team, he added.
