Chandigarh, January 9:- Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Naib Singh Saini, while adopting a strict stance on law and order in the state, has made it clear that negligence in crime control will not be accepted at any level. The Chief Minister said that in the police stations under which there is no effective control over crime, the accountability of the concerned officers will be fixed and if necessary, strict action like demotion will be taken against them.
The Chief Minister was talking to the media after the pre-budget consultation meeting in Faridabad on Friday.
Mr. Naib Singh Saini said that he has made it clear earlier that Haryana Police is a strong and capable force, but if crime or illegal drug trade is increasing, then the concerned SP and police station officers will have to do serious introspection for this. It is the responsibility of the officers to sit down from time to time and review the situation, get to the root of the problems and find concrete solutions to them.
He said that when a common citizen, especially women, complains about crime or illegal activities in an area, it is the responsibility of the police and the administration to take immediate and effective action. The Chief Minister reiterated that maintaining law and order is the top priority of the government and no negligence will be tolerated in this regard.
Mr. Naib Singh Saini directed the officers to carry out the campaign against crime and drugs with greater rigor, so that the public can get a safe environment and good governance is ensured in the state.
