Chandigarh, September 21: Director General of Police (DGP) Haryana, Mr. Shatrujeet Kapur, held an important review meeting with Additional Director Generals of Police, Police Commissioners, Range Inspectors General, and other senior officers of the state at the Conference Hall of Haryana Police Academy, Madhuban. The meeting discussed in detail action against foreign nationals illegally residing in Haryana, moneylenders, criminals and miscreants, traffic management, and security arrangements for the upcoming festival season.
Strictness against Illegally Residing Foreigners
DGP Kapur stated that all officers must review cases related to illegally residing foreign nationals every week and ensure strict action is taken. He directed that a separate cell be constituted in every district for this purpose and instructed that immediate action be taken on received inputs. He further directed officers to send weekly reports on this matter to Police Headquarters.
Special Campaign against Moneylending
In the meeting, Mr. Kapur reviewed the ongoing intensive campaign against moneylenders. Police Commissioner of Sonipat, Mrs. Mamta Singh, informed that the police are receiving full cooperation from the public and that complaints are being acted upon promptly. DGP Kapur clarified that the main objective of this campaign is to help needy and poor people. He said—those moneylenders who exploit the helplessness of the poor, charge exorbitant interest, and even seize their property, will face strict action.
Zero Tolerance towards Criminals
DGP Kapur instructed that strict surveillance be maintained on criminals and anti-social elements. He directed Station House Officers (SHOs) to personally monitor such individuals, hear complaints against them themselves, and ensure strict action. He further emphasized that criminals should be categorized into different groups so that monitoring and action can be carried out more effectively.
Action on Traffic Management and Drunk Driving
Additional Director General of Police (Traffic & Highways), Mr. Hardeep Doon, informed that during a special campaign conducted from September 5 to 14, as many as 30,603 challans were issued. These included actions against drunk driving, noise pollution, and other traffic violations. Awareness campaigns were also conducted during this period. The DGP directed that accident-prone areas be identified and necessary road safety measures be taken there. Along with this, Mr. Kapur also instructed to spread awareness among the public about compliance with lane driving rules. He said that traffic police officers and personnel should explain to the public that vehicles must not be driven in the fast lane continuously, as the fast lane is meant only for overtaking.
Special Arrangements for the Festival Season
Keeping the festival season in mind, Mr. Kapur directed officers to further strengthen security arrangements. He said that in large fairs and temples where huge crowds gather, high-quality CCTV cameras must be installed to prevent accidents and criminal incidents. If the crowd exceeds the prescribed limit, entry must be controlled at the main gate itself. Special surveillance must also be maintained on suspicious and anti-social elements.
DGP Kapur made it clear that the primary objective of Haryana Police is to provide citizens with a safe and fear-free environment. He said that during this festival season, every police officer must act as a shield for the safety of the people.
