Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that, like brave soldiers posted on the borders , the police of the state put their lives in danger and worked for the survival of the common man during Corona crisis. He said that the police was also discharging its important role in the campaigns being run by the government against the organized mafia.

Mishra said that now the government will take all possible measures to get rid of the problem of housing for all the officers and employees of the police. Construction work of thousands of houses is in progress. The government is also considering other options. Mishra said this while dedicating a total of 312 newly constructed police residences including 240 houses of constables and 72 houses of head constables and non-gazetted officers in 6 storeyed 8 blocks at a cost of Rs.66 crore in Bhopal.

The government is making efforts to to provide rent free facility to the police officers and employees.

Home Minister said that in the Corona crisis, the police department stood firm on the path of duty without caring for themselves or their family members.

n there was silence in the streets and alleys, people were in their homes, there were no vehicles on the roads, the police personnel like soldiers were stationed at every street-square to protect the life and property of the people. During this period, the police department, through its devotion, showed the motto of patriotism and public service in the true sense.

 

We inherited a state in a bad shape

 

Home Minister Dr. Mishra said that during the time of the previous governments, we had inherited the state with its problems growing out of proportion . At that time the Chambal and Vindhya regions were facing the problems of dacoits. Naxalites were creating terror in Balaghat. The Malwa region was plagued by the terror of SIMI, where weapons were found instead of water in wells. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the state has been turned into an island of peace by solving all these problems. Now there is no identified gang, no mafia and no gangster here.
