Chief Minister interacts with Police officers
Stresses on
community policing, outreach to village elders, community leaders, modern
methods of investigation
SRINAGAR, MAY 14: Chief Minister,
Mehbooba Mufti today asked the officers of Police Department to adopt a
cautious and professional approach in dealing with the day to day situations in
the State. She said the Police has been and should be an institution of public
reassurance rather than a cause of fear among the masses.
The Chief
Minister said this while interacting with a group of Police officers here
today.
Mehbooba Mufti
advised the Police officers to adopt and popularise community policing to track
down the crime in the State. The approach, she said, would also help in guiding
youth and dissuading them from venturing on wrong tracks. She said stress
should be laid on counselling, advice and interaction in their discharge of
duties. A compassionate and responsive approach with the general population of
law abiding citizens would automatically isolate the criminal elements in the
society, she said. She also directed use of modern methods of investigation and
crime detection instead of the obsolete ones to overcome any allegation of
harassment or excess.
The Chief
Minister asked the officers to follow a social catharsis approach while dealing
with youth which would persuade them not to venture on the path of violent
waywardness, thereby utilising these youth for positive and gainful purposes in
the society.
Mehbooba Mufti
asked the officers to enhance their public outreach in their respective areas
to get a feel of the needs and difficulties of people. She advised them to be
in constant touch with village elders and community leaders and be always ready
to help them when ever called for.
Director General of Police, Dr. S P Vaid; Additional Directors General
of Police, A G Mir and Muneer Ahmad Khan; IGP Kashmir zone, S P Pani and
several Police officers were present on the occasion.
