As India celebrates the festival of lights, the nation's Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) have stepped forward to share messages of hope, resilience, and patriotism. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) have extended their heartfelt CAPF Diwali greetings to citizens and their brave personnel, urging everyone to embrace positivity and a steadfast commitment to duty.

The CRPF, through a message from Director General G P Singh, IPS, conveyed warm wishes to the citizens of India and the courageous members of the force. In a post shared on X, the force expressed hope that the auspicious occasion of Diwali would bring more than just celebration.
DG G P Singh emphasized that the festival of lights should serve as a catalyst to illuminate lives with wisdom, joy, robust health, and enduring prosperity for all.
BSF: Linking the Light of Diwali to National Security
The Border Security Force (BSF) provided a deeper reflection on the significance of the festival. Director General Praveen Kumar extended his greetings to the entire Border Guard family and their loved ones, wishing them inner strength and positive energy.
Devotion to Duty

A Radiant Commitment
Drawing a powerful parallel between the traditional lamps of Diwali and the role of the security forces, the DG remarked that just as lamps dispel darkness, the inner strength of the Border Guard family must remain radiant.
