It is a profound honor to lead the Karnataka-Kerala Sector of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), a sector that stands as a symbol of unwavering commitment and Excellence. Since its inception on 24th August 2016, when it was strategically redeployed from Kolkata to Bengaluru, the Karnataka-Kerala Sector has been entrusted with the critical responsibility of ensuring peace, stability, and security across the states of Karnataka, Kerala, the Union Territory of Puducherry (Mahe), and the Lakshadweep Islands.
Our sector has taken on the mantle of safeguarding law and order, securing vital installations, and providing dedicated protection to VIPs across these regions. Our officers and personnel stand as sentinels of the Nation, confronting challenges head-on.
The spirit of "Service and Loyalty," our guiding motto, shines through in every mission we undertake, embodying our devotion to the Nation. I take immense pride in the dedication, bravery, and perseverance displayed by the officers and personnel of all the 10 Battalions of this Sector, which are deployed across the country and continue to uphold the CRPF's legacy of integrity, discipline, and professionalism. I also place on record my appreciation the commendable administrative support being extended to these Battalions by the Group Centers and Composite Hospitals at Pallipuram (Kerala) and Bangalore.
As we move forward, I am confident that our personnel, ever vigilant and relentless, will remain committed to the highest ideals of service to the Nation, ensuring that peace prevails wherever our presence is required.
My heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to all ranks of the Karnataka-Kerala Sector for their exemplary service. Together, we stand strong in our resolve to protect and preserve the integrity of the Nation.
Jai Hind!
