Paradip Port Authority (PPA) has proudly extended heartfelt congratulations to Commandant Sanat Kumar Patel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) for his outstanding accomplishment in the NMDC Hyderabad Marathon 2025, held on Sunday.

Competing in the Full Marathon category (42.195 km), Commandant Patel completed the gruelling course in an impressive 3 hours and 30 minutes — a feat that underscores his extraordinary fitness and indomitable spirit.

Despite his demanding responsibilities at Paradip Port, India’s largest among all major ports, Commandant Patel’s achievement is a shining example of grit, discipline, and a deep commitment to personal excellence. His performance resonates beyond individual glory, serving as a strong source of inspiration to the CISF fraternity and the larger port community.

PPA Chairman, P.L. Haranadh, personally congratulated Commandant Sanat Kumar Patel on this proud achievement.

“Such a remarkable feat reflects the spirit of dedication and resilience we value at Paradip Port. Sanat’s success is an inspiration to all, showing that personal excellence can thrive alongside professional duty,”* said Haranadh.

This commendable accomplishment not only marks a personal milestone for Commandant Sanat but also elevates the pride of Paradip Port and the security forces that safeguard it.
