While inspecting the women police station, the CM had a discussion with the top officials regarding the facilities provided to women police officers. He asked them to improve the conditions and draw a blueprint regarding the increase in the women workforce.
The CM maintained that the relations between the police and the public should be cordial and police should behave with public in a good manner. He also inspected the facility of sitting and drinking water for the public.
On his visit to the cyber crime cell, Yogi asked the officers to give a presentation next week to explain about their preparations for dealing cyber crime in the future, as technology is getting advanced regularly.
Yogi also emphasized on the need of cleanliness in the police stations as well as praised the Hazratganj police station for maintaining cleanliness and good atmosphere.
He also gave a word of caution to the officials, saying that it was not the last inspection but just a beginning. In order to send a strong message that indiscipline won’t be tolerated, more than 100 policemen have been suspended by the Adityanath government.
The majority of suspensions took place in Ghaziabad, Noida and Meerut while in Lucknow, seven inspectors had been slapped with suspension. These suspensions were made as few days back, DGP Javeed Ahmad gave instructions to find the “black sheep.”
Rahul Srivastava, the PRO of UP Police, said,
“More than 100 policemen, mostly constables, have been suspended as per the directives of the DGP to identify the black sheep and take exemplary action against them.”
The CM has already banned pan masala, gutka, tobacco products etc. in the government offices after he saw stains on the walls.
