He congratulated the district police personnel for the initiative receiving the prestigious national-level SKOCH Award. He also emphasized the need to encourage and empower women police personnel by assigning them greater responsibilities and enhancing their participation in law and order duties.The SP explained that the reduction in crime was largely due to proactive policing measures, including regular cordon-and-search operations, opening and monitoring rowdy sheets and suspect sheets, and maintaining continuous surveillance on habitual offenders and individuals with criminal tendencies.
Addressing the officers, the DGP stated that cybercrime and drug abuse have emerged as two of the most serious challenges facing society today. He observed that cybercrimes cause significant financial losses to citizens and adversely affect the economy, while drug addiction is destroying the future of many young people.

The DGP further instructed officers to promptly receive and address every complaint submitted by citizens and ensure speedy resolution of grievances.
