Delhi police commissioner B.S. Bassi on Tuesday thanked all security personnel for their contribution to making the 67th Republic Day celebrations in the national capital a “grand success.” Delhi was put under a tight ground-to-air security cover with thousands of armed personnel keeping a vigil for the official parade, where French President Francois Hollande was the chief guest. Minutes after the parade was over on Rajpath, Bassi tweeted, “I thank all security forces for partnering with us & making Republic Day celebrations a grand success. Jai Hind.” Mr Bassi lauded the Delhi Police band and parade contingent for “a magnanimous display” and also congratulated his “back-end technical & control room team” for ensuring foolproof security. “Be it 24x7 vigil, winter chill or high security threat, nothing has deterred your spirit. I raise a toast to every single man & woman of Delhi police” the Delhi top cop said on twitter.Com.
