“With his bravery @crpfindia has not only made a unique contribution in keeping the security of the country intact but has also created a proud history of valor, which every Indian is proud of. I congratulate the CRPF personnel on the 83rd Raising Day and salute their service and dedication to the nation,” Amit Shah said.
The CRPF was raised on July 27 in 1939 as Crown Representative’s Police before a change in its nomenclature after Independence. The force is the country’s largest central police force and plays a critical role in counter-insurgency measures.
