In order to inculcate the sense of responsibility and duty among the police officials of Jalandhar Commissionerate, Police Commissioner Arpit Shukla today conducted a special session with all the officials at the Police Lines.

Shukla honoured the cops with commendable certificates and cash reward who had recently busted a notorious gang of snatchers.

“We are few persons on this earth who have been given the chance to perform policing. I can remind you about the sacrifices of the Punjab police and to my knowledge, over 1,700 laid their lives so that people could live peacefully. Despite these sacrifices, the police is not getting that much respect from the public and its only cause is bad behaviour or inattentive attitude of some of the police official. I urge you all to provide justice to the needy,” Shukla told the police official during an interactive session.

He said during festivals or government holidays, when all people stay at their homes and enjoy, only the police official remain in the field to provide peaceful and secure environment to the residents.

The Police Commissioner admitted that prevalent drug menace, snatching and other petty crime were the major problems of the society and if every cop honestly discharges duty these criminal could be wiped out from the society easily.

Shukla later honoured three cops, including ASI Kulwant Singh, Head Constable Jaswinder Singh and Constable Varinder Singh for busting a gang of snatchers. He rewarded the cops Rs 1,000 and gave them appreciation letter.
