counselling for senior police officers discussed at meeting in coimbatore
The importance of professional counselling for senior-level officials was underscored at a review meeting chaired here on Saturday by A. Arun, Additional Director General of Police - Law and Order.
The emphasis on mental well-being of top-level officials comes a day after Deputy Inspector General of Police, Coimbatore Range, C. Vijayakumar shot himself to death, reportedly due to being in a state of depression. The imperative need for professional counselling for the senior officials was discussed in detail alongside the law and order situation in Coimbatore, the Nilgiris, Tiruppur ,and Erode districts.
While yoga and breathing exercises were conducted at the levels of Inspector, Sub-Inspector and Constable, counselling for senior-level officials has not been in place, so far. The extent of counselling required for senior-level officials will be determined through questionnaires, Mr. Arun said, emphasising that self-medication must be avoided.
Inspector General of Police, West Zone, R. Sudhakar; Commissioners of Police and Deputy Commissioners of Police of Coimbatore and Tiruppur cities; and Superintendents of Police of Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts took part.

The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

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.
