Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday called on police personnel to adopt technology-driven policing to prevent crimes and treat victims with humanity.
Naidu paid floral tributes to police martyrs at the Amar Jawan Memorial at the sixth Andhra Pradesh Special Police Battalion in Mangalagiri. The government would stand by the families of police martyrs and work for the welfare of police personnel, he added.
Effective law and order was essential for the state’s development, investment and the people’s well-being, he said while paying tribute to the brave police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty on the occasion of Police Commemoration Day. Later, addressing the gathering, Naidu said the sacrifices made by the police personnel must be remembered as a responsibility rather than merely an expression of sympathy. “Police personnel must adopt technology-driven methods to prevent crimes, treat victims with humanity and maintain effective law and order, which are essential for the state’s development, attracting investments and ensuring people’s well-being,” the CM said. Khaki stands for responsibility, and the police stand for reassurance, he said, adding that the police profession is noble, as personnel risk their lives to protect the people. Naidu said the police department was the only department that remained on duty at all times, providing security during festivals, VIP visits and other events, often sacrificing celebrations with their own families to ensure public safety. He said the ultimate objective was to ensure that every citizen could sleep peacefully and that their property remained protected.
