The local community participated in the event with equal vigour. The hoisting of national flag by Coast Guard men in uniform at all remotely accessible sites is in sync with Coast Guard ethos and motto ‘We Protect’.

This is a befitting tribute to Bravehearts who have made countless sacrifices safeguarding the unity and integrity of the nation.
