The Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that NDRF is a symbol of trust and its mere presence creates a sense of security in the minds of the people. He appreciated that in such a short span of time, 16 battalions of the NDRF are doing their job very well all over the country.
Formally inaugurated the Camp Complex of the 5th Battalion of the NDRF in Pune, he recalled that their mere presence during any kind of disaster, floods, landslides, storms, building collapses or lightning strikes, during these incidents people are relieved and are assured that as soon as NDRF Jawans reach the spot that they are safe, and this creates a sense of security amongst the people.
It is very difficult to build this trust in such a short time, in such a large country and in such a difficult area and that is only when everyone from the head of the Force to the last man is dedicated to his cause, he added.. This is when without worrying about yourself, you worry about the one you have come to save, without worrying about your life, he advised them to work for the one whose life is to be saved.
Shah said that you have earned the trust of the people in the country in a very short span of time and this fame has been achieved not only in India but in many countries.
NDRF was also sent abroad many times as well, and there also you have delivered very good results and left a very good impression on behalf of the nation and that can only be possible if you believe in Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam, he added. He also said that the sensitivity and dedication of NDRF towards the entire human race is a reflection of this should be maintained.
