Officials in charge of the President’s security faced some tense moments during the ceremonial ‘passing out parade’ at the Officers Training Academy at St. Thomas Mount in Chennai recently.
Soon after the piping ceremony, President Pranab Mukherjee, who was the reviewing officer of the parade, unexpectedly rose from his chair and wanted to interact with the officers in the ground near the administrative building.
As he entered the crowd of officers, parents and their families, security personnel had a tough time controlling them, as most of the new officers wanted to take a selfie with the President. Even before the security personnel could react, some managed to take selfies with the President.
