Newly introduced policemen carried momentous passing out parade ceremony in Tripura

Dressed in their parading costumes, a contingent of 554 newly trained Tripura police personnel carried out a momentous passing out parade ceremony at K.T.D Singh Police Training College in Tripura.

The 83rd batch comprises of cadets from different parts of Tripura, who completed an eleven months basic training.

Tripura Chief Minister, Manik Sarkar and other senior police officials were present to grace the occasion.

"The main duty of police is to help the administration in maintaining law and order. The second duty is to maintain peace, harmony and unity. The third duty is to stand beside people during crisis like natural or man-made disaster and play an active role," Sarkar said.

The newly trained cadres have been trained for counter insurgency operations. They have also undergone rigorous training including stress management, disaster management, human rights, use of different arms and ammunitions, forensic science, and community policing.

"Right from my childhood I wanted to join the Tripura Police to serve my motherland. I have pledged not only to protect my family, but the entire country. I am very happy that my wish and dream have been fulfilled today," said Raman Singh, a newly inducted Cadre.

"I always wanted to join the security force since I was young and now I am finally a part of it. I want to help the administration and protect the people of my state. We are quite happy today as we passed out after nine months of rigorous training. We are really very happy," said a passed-out Cadre, Rabadul Hussain.

The Tripura government has set-up four All Women Police Stations in the state. Five more such stations are likely to come up.

The new recruitments have been made to increase the police presence in the interiors of the state.
