Srinagar, May 27: Days after a militant, who was son of a police officer, was killed in an encounter in Kulgam, the policemen were advised by their Inspector General to guard their children falling “into bad companies or crimes”.
“While dispensing their noble duties policemen should not forget to attend to the welfare of their families and children, whatever time they get they should ensure to look after their children well and ensure their children don’t get into bad company or crimes”, quoted a police spokesman the Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, A G Mir, saying at a police Darbar in Pulwama.
Mir held a police Darbar during his visit to District Police Lines, Pulwama and inaugurated a state-of-art Gymnasium that is equipped with latest equipment, a dining hall and cricket net practice facility for the jawans and the youth of the district.
IGP told the policemen to stand firm in their commitment to maintain peace and to curb the crime in the society.
He said that curbing drug addiction and immoral activities that are posing a challenge to our society, needs to be fought collectively by all segments of society including parents, teachers and religious preachers but police has to take the lead against these issues.
IGP, citing the recent Kakapora rape case, said that they should be very tough with these social crimes and the offenders should be booked and brought to justice.
IGP further said that police has launched various programmes under civic action programme in fields like sports, music and art and academics to channelize the talents of our youth in positive direction and provide them a platform to garner a better future for themselves.
