New Delhi [India], March 10 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended wishes on the raising day of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on Monday and said that their unwavering commitment to duty is truly commendable.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, “Raising Day wishes to all personnel of CISF! This force is admired for its professionalism, dedication, and courage. They play a key role in our security system by protecting essential infrastructure and ensuring the safety of countless people every day. Their unwavering commitment to duty is truly commendable.”
The CISF was established under the act of the Parliament of India on March 10, 1969. Since then, CISF Raising Day is celebrated on March 10 each year.
Earlier on Friday, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah was the chief guest at the 56th Raising Day Parade of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in Thakkolam, Tamil Nadu.
Union Minister L Murugan and CISF Director General Rajvinder Singh Bhatti were also present.
In his address, the Union Home Minister said that in the last 56 years, the CISF has not only ensured the development, progress, and mobility of the country but has also played an important role in its smooth functioning.
He said that the security of vital installations associated with the country’s industrial development, including ports, airports, important business, tourism, and research institutions, cannot be imagined without the CISF.
Shah said, “It is due to the unwavering loyalty, hard work, and dedication of the CISF personnel that the country is moving forward safely in the field of industrial development.”
He said that CISF personnel have also taken an interest in numerous social activities and taken it forward.
Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the resolve to make India the third-largest economy in the world by 2027 and to make India the leader in every field by 2047, in front of the country’s 140 crore people.
He emphasized that CISF’s contribution will be very important in fulfilling these goals. Union Home Minister said that it was decided in 2019 that instead of celebrating the CISF Raising Day in Delhi, it would be celebrated in different parts of the country. Accordingly, today, the CISF Raising Day event was held at the Regional Training Center in Thakkolam, Tamil Nadu. (ANI)
