The Delhi Police Commissioner, Rakesh Asthana took the salute at the ‘Passing out Parade’ of newly inducted Constables held at Police Training College (PTC) in Delhi’s Jharoda Kalan.
A total of 312 recruit Constables of the 116th batch completed their training and will now be joining various districts and units of Delhi Police.
“Among them, 171 candidates have been appointed on Compassionate Grounds in the place of their blood relations, who lost their lives while discharging duty. There are 11 Post Graduates, 116 Graduates, three B. Techs and one BBA & BCA each among these recruits, who also come from different regions of India,” said Anil Mittal, the Additional Public Relation Officer (APRO)
The CP congratulated all the fresh recruits and lauded the drill instructors and PTC staff for imparting excellent training to the newly inducted Constables. Welcoming them in the force, CP, Delhi exhorted them to remain updated as per latest crime trends and make optimal use of technology in conducting investigation, gathering evidence and for prosecution procedures.
Underlining the importance of Community Policing, Asthana said, “99 per cent people of the society strive to live in peace and only a few want to disturb the tranquility.
“Take those 99 per cent in confidence and maintain harmony with their cooperation. The image of Police should instill a sense of confidence in the public, but at the same time criminals must fear it,” said the CP.
