Need to strength, consolidate peace in JK: DGP

Srinagar, Jul 16: Director General of Police Dilbag Singh on Saturday stressed the need for further “strengthening and consolidating peace” in Jammu and Kashmir.
The DGP visited Police Training School, Manigam where he inaugurated a Drill Nursery, a Helipad and addressed a trainees’ Darbar. He also reviewed the arrangements at Yatra Base camps Manigam and Shadipora.
Addressing the Darbar, the DGP said that the present trainees’ batch is unique in itself as it is a mix of experienced and young personnel. Many in the batch have already performed well in the field as SPOs, he added. He impressed upon them to fully devout themselves to training, work shoulder to shoulder with fellow trainees, develop a team spirit and prepare themselves for future challenges. He said that trainees must carry forward the spirit, positivity and activism inculcated in them during the training for the benefit of society. He said that J&K has its own history of love, brotherhood & togetherness and added that enemies are targeting its culture by using different evil tactics. “We have to continue our work with the people to further strengthen and consolidate peace in Jammu and Kashmir,” the DGP added.
Referring to the JK Police Song, sung by the trainees at the beginning of the Darbar, the DGP advised the trainees to memorise and understand the song as it expresses the mission, motive and commitment of J&K Police.
He said that the recruit trainees should make best use of all the facilities available in the training institute and learn all the nuisances of policing. He said that they should follow the training curriculum with dedication as in future they would be shouldering the responsibilities with their fellow policemen working already on ground for maintaining peace and tranquility in J&K and a secure environment for its people.
He said that the trainees were lucky for being trained in one of the few training centers which is rich in its natural beauty and this phase of grooming will determine how successful they would be professionally later. He also advised them to prepare themselves to face the difficulties and remain cheerful in all circumstances. He directed the training staff to sensitize the trainees about their role in the field for facing multiple challenges. He appreciated the Principal and his team for maintaining cleanliness and beautification of the training school and directed for suitable rewards for the gardeners.
Earlier the DGP inaugurated the Drill Nursery and Helipad within the training School. During the inauguration of the drill nursery the DGP appreciated the Principal PTS Manigam for providing an outdoor drill training lab for the trainees. He said that drill nursery will help the basic training recruits to practice and correct themselves individually in their turnout and other drill basics like March past, saluting etc thus will help in their police personality development during their initial period of training.
Later on the DGP also took stock of security arrangements at Manigam and Shadipora Transit Camps. On his arrival at the Shaipora transit camp he was received by DIG NKR Shri Udayabhaskar Billa. He interacted with Police and CRPF officers and Jawans who are deployed for security of these Transit camps and yatris.
