Bassi lauds efforts of colleagues on R-Day security

Delhi Police chief B S Bassi on Tuesday took to Twitter to applaud the efforts of all the policemen who braved the “winter chill or high security threat” in providing fool proof security in the national Capital during Republic Day celebrations where French President Francois Hollande was the chief guest.

The Commissioner tweeted, “Congratulations to the Delhi Police Band and parade contingent for such a magnanimous display of our strength and valour. Proud of you!.”

The applause did not stop at just one tweet. He continued it with a series of tweets where Bassi mentioned about the role of security personnel from other agencies who had partnered with the Delhi Police in providing strict security arrangements for the Republic Day. He noted the role of police personnel engaged in back-end technical tasks as well. 

“I thank all security forces for partnering with us & making Republic Day celebrations a grand success. Jai Hind,” Bassi said in another tweet. 

“Be it 24x7 vigil, winter chill or high security threat - nothing hs deterred your spirit. I raise a toast to every single man and woman of Delhi Police.”

“A special congratulations to our back-end technical & control room team, who kept us connected and helped us make foolproof security arrangements,” Bassi tweeted.

Apart from lauding his contingent, he also tweeted about the people by complying with the security agencies made the security arrangements a success. “Above all thank you Delhi for ur alertness & support & helping us #SayNoToTerror. We seek your continued support in keeping the city safe.”

Delhi Police worked round the clock to provide security for the Republic Day celebrations at which French President Francois Hollande was the chief guest. 

With an alert about a possible terror attack in the wake of terror strike in Pathankot air force base earlier this month and the arrest of 12 terror suspects from different parts of the country, the police made additional efforts to ensure security. Around 50,000 personnel including Delhi Police, paramilitary forces and National Security Guard were engaged in the task of providing security in the national Capital.
