Police Commissioner lays emphasis on community engagement, scientific probes
An Open House will be held for Delhi Police officials every Friday for those who want to share grievances, Commissioner of Police Rakesh Asthana said during an address on Saturday. Mr. Asthana’s video address was attended by over 10,000 police personnel of all ranks. Assuring that no police person shall face any difficulty for bonafide discharge of duty, Mr. Asthana reportedly said it is the job of the senior leadership to take care of the force as mentors and not find faults with them unnecessarily. In addition to the Open House, fairness and transparency will be ensured in matters of postings and transfers “by taking into account the strength and expertise of the officers, which will be examined by the Police Establishment Board”. “In this regard, an exercise has been launched by an internal committee to categorise police stations in terms of their intensity of law and order, crime, communal sensitivity, VIP intensiveness and logistics intensiveness for posting of appropriately skilled officers to bring in more professionalism,” the police said in a statement.More Related News

Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
