Imphal, December 21, 2013: Criss-crossing the twin capital districts as part of infrastructure development inspection visit today, Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam outrightly told police personnel to address the citizens courteously.
The DyCM who assessed existing infrastructure in Manipur Baptist Convention complex and Imphal East district police station, advised uniformed personnel at the latter venue to strive for establishing healthy police-public relationships.
Reminding that indecorous conduct or abusing the citizens do not justify status of security forces as protectors of the common people, he stated that politely addressing the citizens is an important factor to win the people’s confidence which will eventually make the task of security personnel more convenient and effective.
Asking police personnel to abstain from any activity that could tarnish image of the law enforcement force or embarrass their colleagues along with suggesting that emphasis should be on close coordination amongst various police units, Gaikhangam also assured to take relevant measures for infrastructure development of Imphal East district police.
further stating that police firmly tackle activities of anti-social elements, he demanded maximum contribution from security forces in achieving all round development of Manipur.
