He assured continued government support for upgrading emergency response systems and policing infrastructure.
Director General of Police Ashok Tiwari expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister for his consistent support, particularly in promoting modern and technology-enabled policing. He said that “Speed, Sensitivity and Service” would remain the guiding motto of the Himachal Pradesh Police, adding that the achievement reaffirms the commitment that whenever a citizen calls for help, the police will reach at the earliest possible time.
