CM Praises CRPF’s Role in National Security and Modernization
Lauding the CRPF’s crucial role in internal security, the Chief Minister described the force as the backbone of national defense. He also commended its adoption of modern technologies and training methods, which prepare officers to tackle any challenge.

The modernization of CRPF, he added, ensures that the force remains equipped to counter evolving security threats.
Congratulating the trainees and their families, CM Saini expressed confidence that these officers would make significant contributions to national security and nation-building.
Women’s Inclusion in Armed Forces: A Landmark Initiative
The Chief Minister acknowledged Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s historic decision to integrate women into the armed forces, a move that has led to a substantial increase in female recruits. Haryana has also actively encouraged women to join the police force, currently constituting 10% of the state police. The government aims to raise this figure to 15% in the near future.
Highlighting the state’s commitment to strengthening security forces, CM Saini outlined initiatives like technical upgrades, resource expansion, and enhanced training facilities for the police. He also emphasized Haryana’s dedication to veteran welfare, mentioning the establishment of a dedicated welfare department for ex-servicemen and paramilitary personnel.
