The RAF, a specialized force, was raised in October 1992 initially with 10 unattached battalions and later five more units were added on January 1, 2018. These units were set up to deal with riots and riot-like situations, to instill confidence amongst all sections of society and also handle internal security duty.
Expressing his views through Twitter, Shah said, "Greetings to RAF personnel & their families on their 28th anniversary.
