ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) Dr BD Mishra on Wednesday exhorted the police officials of the State to be fair, prompt and determined in their approach to policing.

Addressing the second day of the annual conference of Superintendents of Police and Commandants here, he asked them to win the trust of the people by transparency, probity and accountability in their conduct.

BD Mishra said that police must create deterrence for the wrongdoers and criminals and make them believe that they would get caught quickly, hauled up and receive certain punishment for their crimes.

Stressing proper training for the constable at the beat level, he said that science can never replace the constable on the ground.

The Governor also emphasized proper, transparent and merit-based recruitment of constables and suggested no home police station posting of police.

"Provision of latest equipment and communication means and enhancing the capability for gathering actionable intelligence are must for good policing," he said.

The Governor, who is former commander of the counter-hijacking force of the National Security Guard (NSG), suggested remedial measures to counter insurgency in the State, including good developmental programmes, work opportunities and effective military operations.

He added that all efforts must be made to get the youth of the State out of the insurgent groups.

The Governor also spoke on police organizations in India through ages, law-and-order situation, policing pattern and the insurgency challenges in the State and the way forward.

State Home Minister Bamang Felix, Advisor to the Home Minister Nyamar Karbak, Director General of Police Satish Golcha, and Inspector General of Police (Law & Order) Chukhu Apa also spoke on the occasion.
