It is emerging as one of the important cargo destination and local CISF Unit is always in forefront for ensuring security in the Port and contributing to its healthy productivity. A new modernized Vessel Traffic Management System will soon come up in the Port and it will boost the traffic movement in the Port.

Bishnuswaroop, CISF Personnel performed fire drill & dog demonstration on the occasion. Deputy Commandant, CISF Unit, PPA Shri B V Durgaprasad finally offered vote of thanks.
