Amit Shah, the Delhi Police probed riots fully and fairly

Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised the Delhi Police on their excellent management of the epidemic and the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots during the 75th Raising Day Parade on Wednesday. On the occasion, Shah and Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana unveiled an unique postage stamp honouring the force’s 75 years of service.

Because it serves the nation’s capital, the Delhi Police encounters challenges. During the pandemic, I saw how it operated. The police did a great job of giving medicines, transporting people to hospitals, and conducting cremations. “I thank the Delhi Police for their role in the pandemic and the Delhi riots, particularly for investigating the disturbances thoroughly and strictly,” he stated.

Along with Union Minister (Communications) Devusinh J Chauhan, Shah attended the parade at Kingsway Camp in New Delhi.

“The Delhi Police have numerous obstacles in maintaining peace and order as well as assuring the security of constitutional authorities, VVIPs, and diplomats. With the passage of time, the Delhi Police Force has evolved and effectively met obstacles. I’d like the Commissioner to create a five-year roadmap and a perception management cell right now. During the riots, they put up a lot of effort and prevented a lot of terror acts,” Shah remarked.

The new postage stamp depicts a police officer assisting two visually impaired men in crossing a road while a PCR van stands across the street to commemorate the force’s golden jubilee.

Asthana also spoke to the crowd, praising his officers for their outstanding work over the previous year, particularly during the lockdown. He praised a number of cops for their bravery and dedication.

Our first goal is the safety of women and vulnerable groups. By 2025, we want women to make up a quarter of the force. During the pandemic, a total of 79 police officers died. We were on the front lines with doctors and medical personnel… We have over 30 digital platforms to handle all types of crimes and investigations. Asthana stated, “The police have already reduced the PCR call response time from 8 to 4 minutes.”

In honour of chief constable Rattan Lal, who died in the Northeast Delhi riots, a commemorative medal was created. For their courage, distinguished service, and excellent service, Shah and the Commissioner handed medals to 62 servicemen. Poonam Parik, Lal’s wife received the Gallantry medal.

 Different platoons marched to songs like 'Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja' and 'Badhe Chalo' throughout the procession. The procession also featured women officers on bicycles, riot prevention and cyber cell vehicles, and a K-9 dog squad.
