Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Thursday asked lok Rakshaks to diligently discharge their duty towards the Constitution, maintain law-and-order situation with the mantra of service before self, and improve the image of Gujarat Police.
He was speaking at Gujarat’s biggest-ever passing-out parade to induct 2,301 lok Rakshaks, including 795 Mahila lok Rakshaks, in the Ahmedabad City Police after eight months’ intensive training. He asked them to adopt a compassionate attitude towards the have-nots, persecuted, oppressed, poor and the needy.
The Chief Minister said Gujarat Police by virtue of their confidence and hard work, backed by the state government’s will power, changed the image of cities like Ahmedabad, Porbandar and Surat, once known for their criminal activities. He called for making the Police Force more techno savvy as in CCTV surveillance and command and control wall.
