Senior IPS officer Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta on Saturday took charge as the Director General of Police (In-charge) of Assam and said the force will have zero tolerance towards insurgency.
He said the Assam Police will continue to serve the people of the state.
After taking charge from Kuladhar Saikia, who retired on Saturday, Mahanta addressing a press conference said, "there will be absolute zero tolerance towards insurgency ..."
Mahanta also said: "There is a paradigm shift in terms of the force's focus earlier when terror activities were present. The shift began quite sometime back to civil oriented policing becoming of primary importance."
