JAMMU: Governor N N Vohra today asked the State Police to make honesty, integrity, accountability, transparency, protection of human rights and service to people as its benchmark to come up as the model Police Force.
“J&K Police had made a humble beginning about 140 years ago and, over the period of time, as in other parts of the country, the manpower, infrastructure and logistics of the State Police also enlarged and grew in strength,” the Governor said while addressing the Attestation-cum-Passing out Parade of the 94 directly recruited Deputy Superintendents of Police of 2012 Batch at the Sher-i-Kashmir Police Academy, Udhampur.
He said the present strength of the state police is about 1.10 lakh and referred to the unfortunate situation that unfolded in the state in 1990 and the sacrifices made by the Police, Army and other Security Forces to meet the serious problems which arose in the past years.
Observing that State Police, along with Army and other Security Forces, has rendered yeoman’s service for over two decades in dealing with the serious challenges of terrorism in the state, Mr Vohra emphasized the need for re-orienting the police to effectively meet the future challenges on varied fronts and stressed greater attention being devoted to the training of all ranks of the Force besides reinvigorating its various wings.
The Governor asserted that Passing out Parade is an important occasion in the life of any training institution as it is the culmination of the very hard work put in by the trainees and the training staff.
Referring to the batch, he said out of 94 trainee officers only seven are lady officers and observed that their representation in the Force should progressively increase.
The Governor also gave away prizes to the five best adjudged trainee officers including Neeraj Kumar for being All Round Best during the training, Junaid Hakeem and Pradeep Sen for being best in In-door and Out-door training, respectively and Pradeep Sen, Parade Commander and Ms Mohsina Sebtain, Second-in-Command of the Parade.
