Governor Dr Mridula Sinha said that Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is playing a major and significant role in providing safe and secure economic environment to the nation.
Dr Sinha was speaking at a function on the eve of 50th Raising Day of CISF, organised by Aviation Security Group (ASG) of CISF unit attached to Dabolim airport at Goa.
The function was attended by Commandant CISF (ASG) Dabolim airport N Mrinal. The Flag Officer Commanding Goa Naval Area Rear Admiral Philipose George Pynumootil, Deputy Chairman Mormugao Port Trust G P Rai and other government officials were also present.
Sinha said the services rendered by CISF towards the nation for the last 50 years were worth appreciating. “The CISF plays a key role in protecting the nation’s key units and even offers exemplary services at the airports, providing security to the passengers travelling to various destinations”.
Sinha also praised the CISF personnel for organizing various entertainment programs on the eve of 50th Raising Day celebration.
“The citizens of India will always feel proud of CISF for their valuable contribution in securing the nation from all evil things. I recall the sacrifices of the CRPF who martyred in terror attack at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir. Even after terror attack in Pulwama, the citizens of India stood united. This is the quality of India where people always have stood united to fight against the terror and evil things”, said Dr Sinha.
