Respected…….

On this day in 1965 at sardar post located in the Rann of kutch,

Gujarat, the CRPF achieved a legendary feat unparalleled by
any police force around the globe. We have resisted a full
armed brigade of Pakistani regular army with a mere strength
of our two companies. We have in icted heavy loss to the
Pakistani brigade by eliminating 34 of them and capturing four
alive. In the process we lost 6 of our brave hearts who made
supreme sacri ce while protecting our motherland . Ever since
then April 9th is celebrated as valour day every year.

The force has been in the forefront on all matters related to

national security, from counter insurgency to VIP Security,
CRPF is operating in all theatres across the country and
serving the national cause with utmost dedication, as evident
from our motto “service and loyalty “. The occasion of valour
day provides motivation to force personnel to further work
towards the cause of national unity and cherish the ideals of
our Force.

We are all blessed and fortunate to have the presence of the

honourable chief minister amongst us on this special occasion.
The 120 BN further owes courtesy to all other senior dignitaries
who have blessed the occasion with their presence. The unit
has been deployed in Meghalaya since a decade , we have
very much amalgamated ourselves with the ethos and values
of the state of Meghalaya in general and Garo society in
particular. On this occasion, the unit is motivated to further its
dedication to the well being of whole Meghalaya. Without going
further I would like to welcome all the dignitaries to valour day
function on behalf of 120 BN CRPF.
