Develop such feelings so that the society feels itself in safe hands: Home Minister
Home Minister Dr. Narottam Mishra said that for the first time in the history of the country, appointment letters are being distributed by the Chief Minister after the recruitment of such a large number of police constables. Our Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has done this innovation in the state and has given a message to those who used to say that we will give employment and unemployment allowance to the youth. There is Shivraj government in Madhya Pradesh, which did what it said. Our sensitive Chief Minister Chouhan always cares for all the sections of the society all the time and follows the words of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in the best way.
Home Minister Dr. Mishra said that Madhya Pradesh Police has changed its image. In the Corona period, by serving the citizens day and night and providing security to them, new paradigms of sensitivity have been established. The State Government honoured more than 39 thousand jawans as Corona Warriors. Out-of-turn promotions were given by the state government to encourage the police officers and constables who suppressed the Naxalites by going to Balaghat. The state government implemented a new tradition in the state by making constables as head constables, head constables as ASIs, ASIs as SIs, SIs as TIs and TIs as acting SDOPs in the police department. Along with this, innovations like e-FIR were also done to replace the woolen cap which was prevalent since the British era.
Home Minister Dr. Mishra while boosting the morale of the new constables, encouraged them to work for the society with good feelings, good deeds and good words and to develop a new image of Madhya Pradesh Police in the country. He said that all of you are the strong stones of the foundation of Madhya Pradesh on which Chief Minister Shri Chouhan is building a developed, self-reliant and philanthropice Madhya Pradesh.
