In a bid to motivate officers of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to remain mentally and physically fit, the Airport Sector Directory (ASG) Mumbai CISF organised a cycle rally under the aegis of 'Fit India Mission' at Kharghar on Sunday morning. Deputy Inspector General of CISF, Shrikant Kishore, Deputy Commandant, NC Yadav and 150 ASG Mumbai CISF personnel attended the programme, which was actively supported by the SBI.


Rajesh Shukla, a Limca Book record holder, an avid cyclist and activist supporting the cause of differently abled people inaugurated the rally along with activist and differently abled guest Rajesh Dayal and KK Vishnoi, regional manager of SBI. The rally, which was six-and-a-half kilometres long, was organised in the Central Park area of Kharghar, Navi Mumbai.

Speaking to mid-day, Kishore said, "It is very important for a person to be physically and mentally fit for a certain kind of work. The CISF is an important security agency. Maintaining security at the airport, where we operate 24/7, is very important. Hence, it is very important for us to be physically and mentally fit. As a DIG, it is my responsibility to ensure the airport's security and that the guards posted here are always fit."
