Participation of women in composition of J&K Police must increase: DGP Swain
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterWhatsappTelegramEmail

Srinagar, Sep 30: On the final day of his service, the Director General of Police (DGP) R R Swain Monday visited the newly constructed Martyr’s Memorial or Balidan Stambh at Pratap Park in Srinagar’s Lal Chowk.

Talking to reporters after paying tributes to killed soldiers, the J&K police chief said that he too could have been among his hundreds of colleagues killed in the line of duty.
During his three-decades of service, the DGP said that he has tried to ensure a fear-free atmosphere in Kashmir.

“For a police officer, Balidan Stambh is not less than a place of worship. There are hundreds of fallen heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the cause. It is my duty to pay rich tributes to all the heroes on the last day of my service,” DGP Swain said.

Asked how he feels from being a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to be promoted to the DGP rank, Swain said, “this opportunity doesn’t come to all. For this, I am thankful to the Almighty and the government and then to my colleagues.”

“I did try to see the smiles on the faces of people and remove fear. I am thankful to all mothers, sisters, children, old age citizens and all for their support. My belief is that every one in J&K should enjoy peace, live a life free from fear and intimidation. I think I have not lost the opportunity to ensure this all,” the DGP said.

DGP Swain will demit office today evening and J&K will see Nalin Prabhat as its new police chief.
