The training was felt necessary keeping in view of the recent large scale violence that took place during the anti- PRC (permanent resident certificate) protests and also to maintain peace, law and order in the Capital region. This will also built a sense of security among the citizens in the days to come, especially in connection with the declaration of election results,” Capital SP Tume Amo said.
