Chandigarh, Oct 22 (PTI) Haryana Director General of Police O P Singh on Wednesday night went on night patrolling to inquire about issues faced by the personnel deployed at inter-district checkpoints, emergency response vehicles and police posts.
In a late night post on X, Singh said that he has instructed all superintendents of police (SPs) and commissioners of police (CPs) to do the same.
“I am on night patrolling for the next four hours. I would like to know about the presence, work status, and issues faced by the police personnel deployed at the ‘112’ vehicle (emergency response vehicles), police posts, police stations, and inter-state and inter-district checkpoints,” the DGP said in the post.
Elaborating on directions given to SPs and CPs, the DGP said, “I have asked them to inform me by 11 am tomorrow, in 200 words, about the shortcomings they observed and what steps they will take to address them.” In another post on X, DGP Singh, while touching upon his travel on a road stretch, pointed out that one police control room (PCR) vehicle was found alert on duty with red beacon on but no one was standing outside keeping watch.
He wrote, “35 minutes travel. 50 kms on Panchkula-Yamunanagar Road. One PCR vehicle found alert on duty with red beacon on but no one was standing outside keeping watch. No police duty/vehicle was seen near toll plazas.” “There is traffic diversion here (one way) but no visible signage/police duty is present at the point of diversion,” he mentioned in his post while tagging the coordinated of the location.
On October 15, a day after he assumed the “additional charge” as Haryana Director General of Police, Singh had issued a message to people, spelling out his priorities.
He promised “safety that is felt, day and night, in every village, town and city”. PTI SUN NB
