Education is a weapon to empower youth to excel in life, said Director General of Police (DGP) C. Sylendra Babu during a discussion with students near Podanur in the city on Saturday.
At the event organised by the Federation of Coimbatore Sunnat Jamaat and the City Police, Mr. Babu said students have to take inspiration from their parents and work hard by following in their footsteps.
Citing verses from Thirukural and quoting the life of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, the DGP urged the students to use internet as a tool to learn meaningful things.
City Police Commissioner V. Balakrishnan appealed to the students to take steps for creating positive changes in society.
Earlier, the DGP told presspersons that people need to be cautious about various online scams and urged them not to share persons details with anyone online. He also appreciated the Coimbatore City Police for cracking down on drug peddlers. He said that the construction of police stations at Kavundampalayam, Karumbukadai and Sundarapuram were in progress.
The DGP also opened the renovated Cyber Crime Police Station at the Police Commissioner’s office on Saturday.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
