Stating that the Gautam Buddha Nagar Police Commissionerate has played a leading role in bringing about this change, the DGP said, "I would like to congratulate Commissioner Laxmi Singh, who not only provided excellent leadership to Noida Police but also set new standards for women's empowerment."

During his visit, Kumar felicitated Ravi Shankar Nim (DCP, headquarters/protocol), Saad Mian Khan (DCP, Greater Noida), Shakti Mohan Awasthi (in-charge DCP, Central Noida), and Preeti Yadav (in-charge DCP, cybercrime), among others, for their commendable work.

Highlighting the achievements of the Gautam Buddha Nagar Police, Commissioner Laxmi Singh said the crime rate in the district has come down in the past eight years.

Gautam Buddha Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma and Atsushi Nagashima, corporate director of Yamaha Motor India, among others, were present on the occasion.
