J&K Police Chief for Zero tolerance to casualties during Ops

The Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra Kumar today asserted that the commitment towards zero casualties of common citizens during police operations, is their prime motive.
"We reiterate that our commitment of zero casualties during maintenance of law and order, and humane behaviour towards law abiding citizens is our motive", Rajendra said addressing a high level meeting of senior police officers here today.
He asked the senior officers to visit police stations and take stock of the people's grievances and their disposal. Community policing and Civic Action Programmes, promoting sports and culture activities, are the methods to improve our relations with the public, he added.

Rajendra said that J&K police would dedicate year 2015 to the people of the state and would explore new areas to improve police-public relations at the grass root level.
He asked the officers to improve conduct of the force at all levels towards the people of the State.
The meeting was arranged on the eve of New Year, aimed to discuss the achievements of JKP on different fronts of policing and to set priorities for the year 2015.

Elaborating the achievements of 2014, the DGP said, the force had to meet a daunting and gigantic task of maintaining peace and security during the Parliament and Legislative Assembly Elections.

He said elections spread over a period of four months were a great challenge which the force met with grit, fortitude and distinction.
The security of contesting candidates and high profile political personalities was ensured, putting in place effective measures throughout the state, he added.
