HM Shah visits CRPF headquarters in Delhi, reviews its operational preparedness

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday visited the CRPF headquarters here and reviewed the operational preparedness of the force along with senior officials.

Shah posted some photographs of the visit on his official Twitter handle and said the country is proud of the "exemplary valour" of the paramilitary force's personnel.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has a strength of over 3-lakh personnel and is designated as the lead force for internal security duties and anti-naxal operations.

"CRPF personnel have always lived up to their motto of 'sewa' and 'nishtha' (service and dedication) by protecting our nation (while posted) at different terrains. I salute the courage and bravery of CRPF personnel and their families," Shah said in a tweet.

During his visit to the CRPF headquarters at the CGO Complex on Lodhi Road, Shah paid tributes to the force's personnel killed in the line of duty and put a garland around an urn containing the soil from the 'Sardar Post' in Gujarat's Rann of Kutch. The urn is kept at the headquarter's entrance
