He said that through this, not only the mother tongue would be strengthened but also the youth taking exams in Tamil would get equal opportunity. Amit Shah said, “In the last 56 years, CISF has played a crucial role in the progress of the country and movement of the people. Whether it is industrial development or trade, tourism, or any research centre in the country without CISF, the security of these institutions cannot be imagined. PM Modi has taken the commitment to make India the third-largest economy by 2027 and ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.”
He said that CISF would play an important role in fulfilling these objectives.
“I paid tributes to 127 fallen CISF jawans who laid down their lives in line of duty. 22 jawans were awarded here. 10 jawans got the President police medal. 10 have got gallantry medal. 6 projects have been inaugurated worth 88 crores for the welfare of CISF personnel. In 2019 it was decided to celebrated this event in various parts of the country instead of Delhi,” he further said.
He further said that Tamil Nadu has strengthened the Indian culture. “Everyday CISF ensures safe movement of at least 1 crore people in the country. Since CISF has taken charge of airports, there are no incidents of any security lapse. The security of the new Parliament is also being handled by CISF. In the Delhi metro, more than 70 lakhs passengers are travelling safely. In marine safety, nearly 250 ports would be ensured security by CISF,” he added.
He further said that in a year, more than 1 lakh youth have been recruited through CAPF.
“In 2024, recruitment has been done in more than 14000 posts. The recruitment is going on for 50,000 youths through CAPF,” he further added. (With inputs from ANI)
