Yesterday, Patnaik formally took charge as commissioner of the force, which has a strength of close to 80,000 personnel.
"On taking over as CP Delhi it shall be my endeavour to make @DelhiPolice more responsive and service oriented. Jai Hind," he tweeted for the first time from the official handle @CPDelhi.
Patnaik (57) had superseded two officers to succeed Alok Kumar Verma who was appointed the CBI director earlier this month.
When B S Bassi was the police commissioner, the twitter handle was quite active and news about big cases being solved and clarifications were retweeted and tweeted quite frequently.
