Speaking to mid-day, Kishore said, "It is very important for a person to be physically and mentally fit for a certain kind of work. The CISF is an important security agency. Maintaining security at the airport, where we operate 24/7, is very important. Hence, it is very important for us to be physically and mentally fit. As a DIG, it is my responsibility to ensure the airport's security and that the guards posted here are always fit."
