Be alert in your respective districts about the cases of converting girls by luring them and marrying tribal girls to purchase land. Our Operation Muskaan has been successful in bringing back the missing girls. It is our responsibility to provide security to the weaker sections. Along with this, a campaign should also be launched to control the tendency to commit atrocities.

Cyber crime emerging challenge

Intelligence agencies should be active in getting timely information regarding organizations including PFI involved in activities to weaken the country. The local police should also fulfill their responsibility in this work. An eye should also be kept on the activities in which the NGOs receiving financial assistance from abroad are engaged. Constant vigilance and caution is necessary to maintain social harmony and peace.
PM Shri Modi appreciates the initiative of foot patrolling of the state
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that Prime Minister Shri Modi has also praised the foot patrolling started by the state police in basic policing. Beat system, micro beat system, surprise checks, combing operations and night patrolling are essential to maintain the system. The presence of police on the road has an effective effect in keeping anti-social elements and maintaining normal order. The need of the hour is that from the constable to the officers, the police should be technically competent. With this, better communication with the general public and better control can be done more efficiently. The misconceptions and misinformation going on in social media or other mediums should be immediately denied and appropriate action should also be ensured immediately if required.
It is our responsibility to take care of police personnel
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that we have the right to take work from the police personnel, and it is also our responsibility to take care of them. Officers should be sensitive towards the health of the policemen, their family problems and responsibilities. Working with team spirit and family spirit, ensure that no one in the team remains depressed and stressed. Efforts should be made for the capacity-building of the police personnel, this will boost their confidence and efficiency. Officers should also be given training in behavioral skills. Fairness in functioning is essential for policemen. They should not associate with such persons in their work area which could lead to tarnishing of their image. It is necessary to have fear of the police among those involved in gambling, satta, drugs and other illegal activities in the area.
