According to a senior police official, the induction of these vehicles in the PCR fleet has been undertaken to reduce police response time, particularly in the areas where frequency of PCR calls is on a higher side, and to galvanize the overall functioning of the PCR Unit.
The upgraded fleet is expected to bolster the operational readiness, ensuring swift and effective response to distress calls and fostering a more citizen-friendly policing environment across the national capital.
