| Jat regiment gets best marching contingent award | | CISF best among paramilitary and others | |
Jammu, 29 January
The Jat Regiment has bagged the coveted award for the best marching contingent among the three services at this year's Republic Day parade. The panel of judges also selected the CISF as the best marching contingent among paramilitary and other auxiliary marching contingents.
Raised in 1795, the Jat Regiment is among the longest serving infantry regiments of the Indian army. It has seen action in both pre and post independence eras. The regiment has won five battle honours, eight Mahavir Chakra, eight Kirti Chakra, 32 Shaurya Chakras, 39 Vir Chakras and 170 Sena medals. The Battle of Dograi fought by the regiment in the 1965 India-Pakistan war is regarded as the finest battle fought by an infantry battalion. The Republic Day contingent this year of the Jat Regiment was led by Captain Sumit Dabral. The motto of the regiment is Sangathan va Veerta.
On the other hand the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is the youngest and hi-tech paramilitary force of the country. The force has been given the responsibility of providing security to airports and vital installations across the country besides heritage sites including the Taj Mahal and to VIPs. Modern security management techniques are the hallmark of this paramilitary force. The Republic Day parade contingent was led by Assistant Commandant Nagendra Sharma, said a PIB (Defence Wing) release.
