To mark the beginning of the New Year 2026 on a positive note, the CRPF's 84 Battalion inaugurated an open-air gym at its tactical headquarters in Chanderkot, Commandant Ranbir Singh said here on Friday.

Speaking to ANI on the occasion, the Commandant said the facility was inaugurated on the first day of the year as a symbol of renewed energy and commitment. He recalled that the area sustained extensive flood damage in August last year, after which personnel from the 84th Battalion worked together to rebuild the premises.

CRPF 84 Battalion Commandant Ranbir Singh said, "...Today is the first day of the year, so to make a good start, we inaugurated an open-air gym at the tactical headquarters of the 84th Battalion here in Chanderkot. Last August, there was significant damage here due to the floods. The 84th Battalion team has rebuilt this site. The Chenab River is nearby, which provides a pleasant environment..."

"The team of the 84th Battalion has rebuilt this place after the devastation caused by floods. The Chenab River flows nearby, which provides a pleasant and refreshing environment," Ranbir Singh said.

The open-air gym has been set up to promote physical fitness and well-being among CRPF personnel. Officials said the initiative reflects the force's focus on morale, health and resilience, even in challenging terrain and conditions.

Meanwhile, On December 7, the Special Operation Group (SOG) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police in Doda achieved a major success in a coordinated search operation in the Bhalara Forest area under the jurisdiction of the Thathri Police Station, a release said.

Promoting health and wellness for our forces is so important, especially in difficult postings. The scenic location by the Chenab must be a bonus. More such facilities are needed across all paramilitary units.

Good step, but the article jumps from a positive gym story to a recovery of weapons in an op. Feels a bit disjointed. Could have been two separate pieces. The work of our police and CRPF is commendable though.
