Haryana Director General of Police Manoj Yadava on Friday asked the Police officers to adopt result-oriented strategy to prevent crime and deter criminal elements in the society.

 The DGP was presiding over a meeting of the District Police Chiefs and other senior Police officers to review the crime situation in the state at Madhuban Police Complex.

In the meeting, he directed the officers to curb crime, gangster activities, prevent smuggling of illicit weapons, arrest the absconders and solve pending cases at the earliest. The district SPs and CPs should be more pro-active and crime should be curbed in all circumstances, he said.

In addition, he also directed them to adopt zero tolerance to crime against women in the state. The DGP also informed that priorities for the Police for elimination of drug menace have already been settled by establishing Anti-Narcotics Cell at State, Range and District levels in the state. These cells would certainly put an effective control on drug-peddlers in the state, he said.

Yadava also said that he was proud to lead a force which had competent officers and hardworking men, who had ensured the conduct of peaceful general elections recently and further directions to make elaborate arrangements for maintaining law and order in the run up to the State assembly elections.

The meeting was attended by DGP Crime PK Agrawal, ADGP Law and Order, Navdeep Singh Virk and other senior officers of the Police Department.
