Addressing the gathering, Shri B. Shivadhar Reddy welcomed police bands from across the country and said the competition showcases not only musical excellence but also the unity, discipline, and service ethos of Indian Police Forces. He appreciated RPF/SCR for organizing the event and highlighted RPF’s critical role in safeguarding passengers and railway assets across one of the world’s largest rail networks.
He added that teamwork, discipline, and dedication—core qualities of the police—are reflected in every police band performance. The event, he said, would strengthen cooperation, communication, and trust among forces.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Aroma Singh Thakur, IG-cum-PCSC/SCR, welcomed all contingents and urged participants to perform with true sportsmanship—to win hearts, uplift the nation’s spirit, and celebrate India’s unity in diversity.
Around 1,300 band participants from 24 States/Union Territories/Central Armed Police Forces/Central Police Organisations are taking part.
