The DGP stressed that incidents of criminals escaping due to communication gaps must not occur. He said upon receiving the receipt of information at the control room, the concerned officer must immediately prepare a sealing plan and share it with local police stations and interstate check posts.

The DGP appreciated the drug de-addiction model implemented in Hisar Range and instructed that similar models be replicated in other districts.

A dedicated officer should be appointed in each district to form a team of five to six members. The team should conduct a door-to-door surveys to identify persons affected by substance abuse and motivate them toward treatment and rehabilitation, he said.

He affirmed that Haryana Police remains fully committed to maintaining law and order in the state and ensuring the safety of its citizens.

Whether it's the deployment of ERVs, strategic planning of control rooms, or execution of drug de-addiction campaigns the state's police is diligently and efficiently discharging its responsibilities in public interest, he said.
