The Haryana Director General of Police (DGP), O P Singh, instructed police to assess criminals who might commit a serious crime in the near future. The DGP stated that a squad of four to five personnel should be assigned for man-to-man marking of each criminal. He said the concept is to increase the operational difficulties of criminals so that they are caught.
Haryana DGP did night patrolling on Wednesday, inquiring about the issues being faced by those police personnel deployed at the inter-district checkpoints, emergency response vehicles, and police posts.
During discussions at the Saha Police Station in Ambala, Haryana, Singh also said it has been decided that officers should remain in uniform and armed.
"The SP should hold a group chat daily with the CIA (crime investigation agency) in charge and SHOs (station house officers) and assess which criminal may commit a serious crime next week. Keep informing people about anti-criminal actions through media and other means," said Singh in a post on X.
The Shahabad city post in charge had expressed concern about the shortage of police personnel and the frequent interference by farmer unions in Kurukshetra. Replying to this, the Haryana DGP noted that the passing out parade of 2,000 police personnel will be held, and additional manpower will be provided to them.
Singh further wrote in a post on X, citing, "I am on night patrolling for the next four hours. I would like to know about the presence, work status, and issues faced by the police personnel deployed at the '112' vehicle (emergency response vehicles), police posts, police stations, and inter-state and inter-district checkpoints."
Earlier, on October 15, a day after he assumed the "additional charge" as Haryana Director General of Police, Singh issued a message to people, spelling out his priorities.
