"We have decreased the security of 122 people and due to that 403 police personnel and 27 police vehicles have returned to the police stations," Punjab Chief Minister-designate Bhagwant Mann informed.
After stripping 122 former MPs and MLAs of security cover yesterday, Punjab Chief Minister-designate Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said that as many as 403 police personnel have returned to police stations.
Addressing a roadshow in Amritsar, Mann said, "We will utilise police for what they are meant to do (work for common people); we will not bother them (with security duties of VIPs)"
"We have decreased the security of 122 people and due to that 403 police personnel and 27 police vehicles have returned to the police stations," he informed.
Notably, the Additional Director General of Police (security) had ordered the withdrawal of security cover of 122 former MPs and MLAs in Punjab. The order was issued dated March 11, soon after Bhagwant Mann met the Director-General of Police (DGP) and the Chief Secretary after the Legislator party meeting.
