New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday visited the Delhi Police Headquarters where he reviewed functioning of the force and gave suggestions for improving law and order, especially women’s security, in the city.
Kejriwal, who spent nearly three hours at the Police HQ, was accompanied by deputy CM Manish Sisodia.
During the visit, he was given a detailed presentation by Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi about different aspects of policing in the city and some of the modern technologies being utilised by the force.
He was also given a tour of the C4i (Integrated Command, Control and Coordination Centre) and control room of the force and briefed about their working.
Talking to reporters after the visit, Kejriwal said that he was “more than happy” with the way the Delhi Police was functioning and assured it of all support from his government.
“The way Delhi Police is using modern technology, I am very much hopeful that it would do its best… Only then people of Delhi would live a secure and peaceful life,” the Chief Minister said, adding that “Delhi government and Delhi Police are not separate entities. We are a unit. This is very mean to think that Delhi Police is ours or not. I have assured Delhi Police of my support.”
Sources present in the meeting, which was attended by a number of senior police officials, said Kejriwal showed keen interest in understanding the way police functioned and showed positive response. Kejriwal was specifically briefed about the efforts taken by the police to ensure women’s safety including the Himmat App and WhatsApp group.
