“I have asked SPs and commissioners to ensure that at least 30% of staff attend the parades and every cop attends at least one a month, on a rotation basis. I have asked them to send a report including attendance details to the control room by noon on the same day. I have also asked them to visit different police lines in their area and resolve the issues faced by the policemen living their” added DGP Jha.
