Director General of Police Sulkhan Singh directed his junior collegaues including those deployed in UP-100 not to attend any call regarding illegal mining across the state.
Singh was addressing a gathering soon after releasing `ISO-9001 Certification’ provided to ‘Dial-100’ for excellent services in lucknow on Wednesday.
“Calls about illegal mining are not an SOS for the police as separate departments are working at the state and district level to check it. In case of information of illegal mining, it will be forwarded to SSP/SP who will ensure that the police team was accompanied by an officer of Revenue department to initiate necessary action, ”clarified the DGP.
The top cop further clarified that Police Response Vehicles (PRVs) were not under control of officials of ‘Dial-100’ and were directly controlled by the SSP/SP and the district officers were to take disciplinary action against cops posted at the PRVs for objectionable actions.
On the occasion, officials of two government petro-companies gave a cheques of Rs 50 lakh and Rs 32.62 lakh respectively to the UP Police as part of company’s `Payback’ policy. It may be mentioned that PRVs filled fuel through Petro Cards issued by the two leading government owned petro-firms.
