Indian PM Modi salutes National Security Guard on Raising Day

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday extended wishes to National Security Guard (NSG) personnel on NSG Raising Day and commended them for their unwavering dedication and bravery in protecting the nation.

The NSG is Federal Contingency force to deal with anti-terrorist activities.

The NSG is a force equipped and trained to deal with specific situations and is therefore used in exceptional circumstances to thwart serious acts of terrorism. It was established in 1986.

Home Minister Amit Shah also took to his official handle on X and greeted NSG personnel and their families on NSG Raising Day.

"On NSG's Raising Day, I extend my warm wishes to our @nsgblackcatspersonnel and their families. Living up to the motto of 'Sarvatra Sarvottam Suraksha', the NSG has consistently fortified national security with remarkable expertise in rapid response, tactical surprise, stealth operations, and flawless accuracy. Salute to the brave hearts of the NSG who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty," posted Shah on X.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also wrote in his X post, "On the 40th Raising Day of National Security Guard, we salute the valour, dedication, and unwavering spirit of our brave soldiers. Their relentless efforts ensure the safety and security of our nation. We honour their service and commitment to defending India from all threats. Jai Hind!"

BJP leader Anurag Thakur also took to X and posted, "Saluting the bravery and excellence of NSG on their Raising Day! Warm wishes to all @nsgblackcatspersonnel and their families. We honour those who gave their lives for the nation. Proud of NSG's dedication to keeping India safe."
