In line with his intention, a new trust has developed between the police and the citizens during the transition. The Chief Minister has praised the work of Chhattisgarh Police on many occasions. This has boosted the morale of our police personnel and they are working with constant enthusiasm.
In the program, Shri Awasthi said that from the constable to the SP and the commandant have worked bravely during the corona transition. The police understood the value of every single life and helped the people. It has always been seen that the negative image of the police comes to the fore but the functioning of the police during the transition was highly appreciated by the citizens. Even people provided essential items ranging from tea to water to the personnel doing duty. This is the real achievement of the police. This relationship between citizens and police should always be maintained. Keeping in mind the human values, the police will continue to work dedicatedly towards the citizens and will present a better image in the society.
