Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minster Rajnath Singh and DGPs of 29 States and seven Union Territories will arrive at the BSF Academy, Tekkenpur for the annual DGPs’ conference.

About 60 Inspectors General too will be participating in the conference. The meeting will be held from January 6 to 8.

Hundred police personnel from various police stations of the city have been selected for the security duty. Gwalior SP Ashish addressed the police personnel during a mock parade at the SP office. He asked the duty officers to look smart in front of the PM and other dignitaries. A dress code consisting of blue blazer, grey colour trousers and shining black shoes were prescribed for the parade.

The personnel are allowed to wear inner in view of the severe winter but no part of the inner must be visible. Regarding the use of mufflers he said the department is awaiting instructions in this regard from the police headquarters.

Briefing the constables, the SP said that they must keep in mind that they are representing the State police. The SP asked them certain questions like whether they smoke, chew tobacco and whether they have any serious corruption charges or departmental enquiries against them.

The SP issued them some guidelines to observe while performing their duties. The personnel in charge of the security are not allowed to talk unless asked to do so by a VVIP, and even then the responses must be brief and to the point. Furthermore, no security officer is allowed to go near the VVIPs. Out of the hundred police personnel, eight are sub-inspectors. Sources in the department said that the expenses incurred to buy new clothes and shoes must be borne by the police personnel.
