In his first visit, IGP Jammu Zone interacted and welcomed all the officers, noting that the basic concept behind conducting the meeting is to see and discuss where the fault lies and how to improve the quality of the investigation.
The focus was laid on narcotic drug and psychotropic substance (NDPS) cases, bovine smuggling cases, crimes against property and Crime Against Person, and inquest proceedings. The participants were briefed to concentrate on NDPS cases with special reference to find out, source, carrier and destination, as per the release.
“With regard to the theft cases, a strategy needs to be framed, night patrolling enhanced, and the beat system also improved. He also emphasised effective prosecution of NDPS cases and other cases of tenuous nature to ensure that the cases end in conviction,” the release said.
IGP, while briefing the officers, advised them to finalise the pending cases/public complaints to give relief to the general public and directed I/Os to speedily dispose of cases assigned to them for conducting the investigation.
He asked the officers to strengthen the CI grid and stimulate the basic functioning of the police by way of effective supervision over the functions of police stations. (IANS/ANI)
