Asserting that the primary duty of the police is to maintain law and order and provide peace and security to the people, the DGP appealed to the police personnel to realise that serving the police department should be considered as a “blessed duty” and asked them to serve with joy and enthusiasm to deliver justice to the citizens.
Longkumer also said the strength of the police force lies with the people and they must come forward and extend full cooperation and support to the police to maintain peace and tranquillity.
Lamenting that Nagaland lacks secure and proper road connectivity in the border areas, he said entry to these areas is best possible only via Assam with good roads.
“Security and development should go hand in hand and good road connectivity is essential not only for development alone but also equally vital for security purpose,” he said.
The police chief urged the various district administrations to have a proper planning for good roads in the border areas.
Emphasising on the importance of record keeping and documentation of any event, the DGP urged the police and the citizens to maintain proper records and documentations of events for reference. This is vital for court judgment in the future, he said.
