On assumption of charge as Director General of Police, Odisha on 31st December 2021, I convey my best wishes to all the members of Odisha Police and their families. I pay homage to all those brave police personnel who have laid down their lives in the line of duty while fighting Covid-19 pandemic and Naxal violence in the state.

               The prime duty of police is to prevent crime and handle law & order situation while maintaining people friendly police administration. Commitment to professionalism, integrity and a strong will to uphold the law of the land without any fear or favour are the hallmarks of a superior police force. Police personnel must keep their private lives scrupulously clean, develop self-restraint and be truthful and honest in their thought and deed, so that public may regard them as exemplary citizens.

               I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year 2022 full of health, happiness and prosperity.
