An 111-feet national flag was today unfurled on the campus of CRPF‘s premier Officers Training Academy here, making it the tallest tricolour in a security force’s camp in the country.
The flag was unveiled by CRPF chief K Durga Prasad. Its mast weighs 110 tonnes and the dimension is 20×30 feet. The flag will be illuminated at night and maintained 24X7 by Central Reserve Police Force personnel based at the camp that houses at least 4,000 troops.
A senior official said that during the event, the Director-General also named and dedicated three roads on the campus to the memory of its martyrs, Sub-Inspector Pradeep Yadav, Head Constable Rohtash Singh and Constable Sunil Kumar.
The nearly three-lakh personnel strong CRPF is the country’s lead force for conducting anti-Naxal operations and various other duties in the internal security domain.
