Police Stations should use social media for benefit of citizens: PM

Jaipur: Prime Minister underscored the need to reinforce the positive image of the police in citizens. PM advised the use of social media at the Police Station level for disseminating positive information and messages for the benefit of citizens. He also suggested using social media for disseminating advance information on natural calamities and disaster relief. He also suggested organising various sports events as a way to strengthen citizen-police connect. He also urged the government officials to stay in border villages to establish better ‘connect’ with local populace as these border villages were the ‘first villages’ of India.

Highlighting the success of India’s first solar mission - Aditya-L1 and the swift rescue of 21 crew members from the hijacked vessel in Arabian sea by the Indian Navy, Prime Minister said that such achievements show that India is emerging as a major power in the world. He said that Aditya-L1 success is similar to the success of Chandrayaan-3 mission. He also exuded pride in the Indian Navy’s successful operation. He added that in line with the improving global profile and increasing national strength of the country, the Indian police should transform itself into a modern and world class police force to realise the vision of a developed India by 2047.

The conference was also attended by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, NSA Ajit Doval, Ministers of State for Home, Union Home Secy, DGsP/IGsP of States/UTs and Heads of the Central Police Organisations/Central Armed Police Forces, among others. Like previous years, the Conference was held in hybrid mode with over 500 Police officers of various ranks attending from different places across the country.
