The security of VIPs in the State would be reviewed, stated Director General of Police (DGP) Ramniwas, while addressing the annual Press conference on the occasion of the New Year, here at the police headquarters on Thursday. He also expressed belief that the Naxal problem would be solved soon.
The DGP while replying to a query in context of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders denying personal security in Delhi said, “Chhattisgarh has a different context about the VIP security as the State is fighting with the Naxal problem. There are challenges in urban areas also. Delhi has a different situation, Bastar has other and similarly Korea district of Chhattisgarh has an entirely different scenario.” We will review the security of VIPs in State, the DGP added.
To another query about SIMI’s network unearthed by the police in Chhattisgarh, the DGP said that Raipur Police and Special Branch team would be sent to Bihar for further investigation in the case just like the NIA or other agencies were in Chhattisgarh for cracking the terror network. DGP Ramniwas, who is slated to retire by next month, over the question of service extension said, “it is a constant process and every Government employee has a time to retire. I am working now, but whenever the date of my retirement comes I would leave the post,” he also made it clear that no letter has been written from his end in this connection.
Replying to query over rising rape cases in the State, the DGP said nowadays awareness has increased. “Earlier the cases which remained concealed are now being reported, so there has been a rise in number of cases being reported” DGP remarked. Over a query on missing persons, the DGP mentioned that as per the order of the Supreme Court of India, missing person cases were immediately being registered. “We have created a separate cell of missing persons. However, there is more to be done and police will continue doing its job,” the DGP said.
