Holds public grievance redressal prog in Baramulla
Srinagar: Action against narcotics is an effort where many anti-national, anti-social elements are being hit in a single action — Director General of Police, R.R Swain said Saturday while chairing a meeting of senior police and civil officers of north Kashmir at District Police Lines, Baramulla.
The DGP was on a day-long visit to Baramulla where he presided over a scheduled public interaction cum grievance redressal programme besides chairing officers meeting to review the security and crime scenario of the north Kashmir range, a police spokesperson said.
He said that DGP’s public grievance redressal programme in north Kashmir witnessed a massive response as around 400 persons turned to the programme and placed their grievances directly to DGP J&K.
The DGP heard all the grievances pertaining to police services very patiently and assured time-bound redressal of genuine issues, the spokesperson said.
He said earlier while addressing the officers meeting, the DGP said that stringent action against narcotics is anti-terror, pro-people, pro-youth and also anti-organised crime that leads to other crimes. “It is an effort where many anti-national, anti-social elements are being hit in a single action.”
He directed the officers to make a planned roadmap with the intention of eradicating narco-terror trade from Jammu and Kashmir. “Go deep into the NDPS case investigation and assess the knowledge and differentiate between drug dealer, drug peddler and the victim in order to reach the desired destination of uprooting the base of narcotism.”
DGP emphasised upon officers for mapping the human resources of police stations, adding that there are many things to do beyond the routine duties. He said that resources available at the police station level must be used for improving core policing practices such as investigations.
He directed for focusing on the emerging threats of cybercrime adding that proper utilisation of the services of technology teams deputed recently in every district would be highly useful.
