Diwali meal with personnel
A traditional Bada Khana was organised for the 2nd IRB and CRPF personnel stationed at the battalion. Singh and the accompanying senior officers served food to the jawans and joined them for the meal.
The gathering gave senior police officers an opportunity to meet personnel serving on the ground and share the festive occasion with those carrying out their duties.
