Rourkela: The 51st Odisha Home Guards annual day was celebrated with fanfare and gaiety at the Uditnagar ground here today where Superintendent of Police and Commandant of home guards, Rourkela Himanshu Lal unfurled the organizational flag and took the salute from them.

Speaking on the occasion and being the Chief Guest, Lal lauded the role of home guards as the auxiliary force of the State Police in the maintenance of internal security.

The home guards perform various duties to help the community in emergency situations such as air-raids, fire, epidemics and natural calamities. Besides, they promote communal harmony, assist the administration in protecting the weaker sections and participate in socio-economic and welfare activities, he added.

“Since the home guards perform multifarious duties, without them the existence of police is not possible,” Lal pointed out.

The SP also read out the messages of the Governor Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on the occasion.

On this occasion, ADM Rourkela Rabindranath Mishra said “The home guards are wholeheartedly committed to the noble task of selfless service to the community and their volunteers have provided excellent service to the people”.

He urged the home guards to perform their duty selflessly in the coming days.

Later, a mock drill on air-raid tactics was displayed by the home guards and civil defence while another mock exercise of fire disasters was performed by the fire brigade of SAIL.

Among others, Additional SP Sudarsan Sethi, DIPRO, Rourkela Ajay Jena and senior police officials were present.
