The meeting was attended by all gazetted officers, sub-divisional police officers (SDOPs), station house officers, outpost in-charges and heads of various police branches. The DIG-SSP began the session by taking a brief introduction of officers before initiating a detailed review of crime trends and case progress.
Dr. Singh conducted a point-wise assessment of pending criminal cases, charge sheets, marg inquiries and public complaints at the police station and outpost levels. Emphasising timely justice, he instructed officers to resolve long-pending matters through focused campaigns while strictly adhering to directives issued by the Police Headquarters, Inspector General’s office and senior administrative authorities.
Addressing illegal activities, the DIG-SSP ordered strict and prompt action against cow smuggling, narcotics trafficking, illegal liquor trade, gambling, betting and the sale of banned drugs. He also directed intensified patrolling and tight checking at border areas, inter-state routes and major checkpoints to prevent organised crime and smuggling operations.
Expressing concern over the rising number of road accidents, Dr. Singh instructed police to take firm action against traffic violations, including over-speeding, drunk driving, triple riding on two-wheelers and the transport of passengers in goods vehicles. He stressed the importance of immediate police response to ensure injured persons receive prompt medical treatment in accident cases.
The DIG-SSP also underscored the need to strengthen the informant network by developing a reliable intelligence system and ensuring complete confidentiality for those providing information. He proposed the formation of a district-level “Police Mitan” initiative, on the lines of Raipur, to conduct village-level awareness campaigns and enhance community participation in policing.
Highlighting accountability, Dr. Singh instructed senior officers to monitor the performance of investigating officers on a daily basis. He stated that no complainant should return disappointed from any police station or outpost, and all grievances must be addressed with sensitivity, fairness and professionalism. Improving investigation quality, he noted, would directly contribute to a higher conviction rate and stronger public trust in the police.
