Punjab Dy CM directs to increase night police patrolling

Tuesday, 23 November 2021 | PNS | Chandigarh

To further ensure law and order situation in the State, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister-cum-Home Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Monday issued strict instructions to police to increase night patrolling.

“At least, one-third of the Gazetted Officers in each Commissionerate or District will be deputed for patrolling as per the roster,” said Randhawa, adding the same would be personally reviewed daily by him through video call.

After taking serious cognizance of the reports that adequate police patrolling was not carried out during night, Randhawa directed all the Commissioners and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) to prepare a duty roster of Gazetted Officers in their respective Commissionerates or Districts.

He said at least one-third of the officers should be on patrolling duty during night, and “I can randomly check the location of the duty officer at any time by making a video call to the concerned,” he said, adding security of the State would not be compromised at any cost and strict action would be initiated against the negligent officer.

Meanwhile, Principal Secretary Home Anurag Verma has issued letters to the state Director General of Police (DGP), ADGP (Law and Order), Commissioners and SSPs in this regard asking them to follow the directions of the Deputy Chief Minister in true spirit.

Verma said the Commissioner and SSPs have also been asked to send a copy of the roster to the ADGP (Law and Order) who would consolidate the roster of all districts and further send the copy to the Deputy Chief Minister, Home Secretary, and DGP by 5 pm daily.
