"The complainants should get a patient hearing in the police stations," he said while emphasising on the need to activate the visitor's room in their respective police stations.
The officer also laid stress on cleanliness and maintenance of the police station premises as a mission towards 'Swachh Police Abiyaan' and to effectively maintain the records of the stations, to ensure effective beat policing and for timely disposal of processes.
