Monsoon fury: Himachal CM to meet PM, Home Minister
CM also asked the opposition to support the state government in releasing Rs 10,000 crore stuck with the Union Government.
For the first time CISF raising day will be celebrated outside New Delhi with Union Home Minister Amit Shah as the chief guest of the 54th Raising Day parade on 12 March at National Industrial Security Academy (NISA) at Hakimpet in Hyderabad. The home minister will be reaching the city tomorrow night.
“This is for the first time in CISF’s history that the Raising Day Parade is being held out of New Delhi,” said Additional DG North Piyush Anand. The government has directed that the Raising Day celebrations should pan out since CISF was a pan India force. People across the country should see the force from close quarters and hence the venue of the Raising Day parade will rotate every year.
Anand went on to add, “As the NISA is the Centre for excellence for CISF it was decided that the Raising Day Parade will be held here.” Apart from NISA which was recognised by the Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA) as a “Centre of Excellence” for training in Industrial Security Management CISF has six other regional training centres located at Barwaha in Madhya Pradesh, Mundali in Odisha, Arakkonam in Tamil Nadu, Behrore and Deoli in Rajasthan and Bhilai in Chhattisgarh.
