The DC said that the entire nation salutes BSF’ contribution towards ensuring the safety of the country’s brothers and sisters. She said, “Raksha Bandhan is not merely a festival of love between brothers and sisters, but a symbol of trust, commitment, and the promise of protection. Today, by tying these Rakhis on the wrists of my brave brothers, I pray that they always remain safe and continue to lead in the service of our nation’s security.”
