Swain also told officers to "fix the responsibility up to last man, but also give juniors required authority and resources, condone honest mistakes but take action against incorrigible personnel", according to the spokesman.

No one should be afraid of "honest mistakes because only those who walk or run would trip", the DGP said.

Good work by personnel would be duly rewarded and adequate resources will be kept at the disposal of the jurisdictional officers, Swain said.

He also called for redressal of genuine grievances of serving and retired police personnel.
