In line with PM’s I-Day speech, Delhi Police chief sets goals on Atmanirbharta, tech & healthy competition

Delhi Police Commissioner SBK Singh has set goals for the force, emphasising three important aspects — Atmanirbharta, use of technology, and healthy competition — drawn from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 79th Independence Day address at the Red Fort.

He said that the three key points must be implemented swiftly and in mission mode across the force.

Singh also urged police personnel to be more people-friendly and work with a spirit of ‘Sewa Bhav’ to earn public trust, so that they can approach them without any hesitation in times of need.

In his address to the police personnel on the occasion of Independence Day, the Delhi Police chief asked all units to work on the aspect of ‘Atmanirbharta’ (self-reliance) and come up with a proposal within 15 days.

The aim is to make Delhi Police self-reliant on multiple fronts to reduce dependence on others for commandos, bomb disposal squads, wireless sets, and other requirements.

Speaking on the use of technology, the Delhi Police chief said that while the force has made effective use of technology and is quite ahead on this front, there is still a need to go further.

He stressed that whether it is surveillance, preventing cybercrime, or fighting terrorists, the use of technology is required in every field.

Singh directed all Delhi Police units dealing in technology-related matters to form committees and groups, conduct necessary studies and submit proposals within a month to enhance the use of advanced technology in the force.

Referring to another important aspect of the PM’s speech, he asked the force to instil a sense of healthy competition and shun jealousy.

He urged the force to embrace the principle at both individual and organisational levels. The police chief also congratulated 18 officers and personnel who were awarded Police Medals for ‘Distinguished Service’ and ‘Meritorious Service’ on the occasion of Independence Day.
