The Dehradun police received 10 high-tech motorcycles from the Suzuki company. These additions to the fleet of the district police are expected to further enhance the work of the department in Dehradun.
After receiving the motorcycles at a programme held at the Police Lines, the deputy inspector general/senior superintendent of police, Dehradun, Arun Mohan Joshi thanked the company’s senior manager JS Rathour and his team. Joshi said that the high-tech motorcycles provided by the company will make it easier for the police to chase criminals. Among the motorcycles available with the district police, the ones received on Tuesday are the best and most hi-tech, he added.
The police already have Cheetah motorcycles but since these are not high power, some problems were being faced in chasing suspects in crimes of movable category.
Considering this, Joshi established coordination with the Suzuki company which presented 10 high-tech 250 CC Gixxer motorcycles to the police as part of its corporate social responsibility.
The company’s senior manager JS Rathour said that the main intention behind providing the motorcycles to the police is to enhance police mobility to facilitate effective measures for security of the common public.
Powered by a 250 CC engine, each motorcycle has a police hooter, siren, flasher and public address system.
According to the police, these motorcycles are being provided to senior sub inspectors in nine police stations of the city with the instructions that they supervise the use of these motorcycles for crime control actions in their respective areas. The motorcycles will also be used in areas where criminals are likely to come after committing any offence.The superintendent of police (City) Shweta Choubey, Traffic CO Rakesh Devli and other police officers were also present on the occasion.
