“This is for the first time in CISF’s history that the Raising Day Parade is being held out of New Delhi. This is government directive that we should pan out as the CISF is a pan India force and people from all across the country should see the force from closer quarters. So, a decision was taken that the CISF should go outside NCR on rotations. As the NISA is a centre of excellence for CISF, it has been decided that Raising Day Parade will be held here,” CISF ADG (North) Piyush Anand said at a press conference here on Friday.
A total of 23 medals including one Gallantry and 22 President’s Police Medal for meritorious service and President’s Police Medal for distinguished service will be presented during the parade, which will be followed by spectacular demonstrations by the CISF and Fire personnel.
