Union Home Minister "Amit Shah" arrived at Jammu to participate in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Raising Day parade held at Maulana Azad Stadium, today(19th March 2022). For the first time, the day is being observed outside Delhi-NCR, its usual venue. Shah, who is attending the parade as a chief guest, will address the CRPF's annual "83rd Raising Day Parade". During his two-day tour to Jammu, he will also meet Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, top brass of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), Jammu and Kashmir Police, intelligence agencies and civil administration to discuss security situation and development works in Jammu and Kashmir. 
 
History : After conducting an online meeting over the reason to celebrate CRPF Anniversary Parade on different dates/days, earlier this year, the top brass of the force finalised that the CRPF Anniversary Day will be re-designated as the 'CRPF Day' and will be celebrated on March 19 every year. 
 
On 19th March , CRPF was granted President's Colour back in 1950.
 
CRPF top officials decided to change the dates of the parade following heavy rainfall in the month of July, coinciding the birthday of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel on October 31, with the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and extreme winter in the national Capital in December..
