New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of the 50th Raising Day on Sunday, met the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) troops, from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) and the Border Security Force (BSF) address personnel from various formations of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
The Prime Minister applauded the contribution of the paramilitary forces and said explained how their achievement is important for the nation.

In such a scenario the role of India's paramilitary forces, which fights insurgents rather than enemies along the borders, becomes extremely important.
