Jalandhar, October 18
The Corps of Military Police (CMP) celebrated its 73rd Raising Day in Jalandahr Catonment today.

Major-Gen S.K. Agarwal, officiating General Officer Commanding of Vajra Corps, was the chief guest. The General interacted with jawans and applauded their role in maintaining good order and military discipline.

The celebrations were attended by serving and retired Army officers, JCOs and jawans.

General Aggrawal said in the true traditions of “Seva Tatha Sahayta”, the Corps of Military Police was instrumental in controlling the traffic and allied disciplinary measures of Jalandhar Cantonment. The Jalandhar Garrison was subjected to policing round the clock by the CMP. Besides this, CMP personnel were also deployed for surprise checks at various places to control any malpractices.

The joint checks with the civil police inside the cantonment to control rash and negligent driving had reduced accidents in a big way.

The safety of passengers at the Jalandhar Cantonment railway station had also been ensured and incidents of drugging and thefts had decreased.
