Asthana took the salute and inspected the ceremonial parade.

He also congratulated all the fresh recruits and lauded the drill instructors and Police Training College staff for imparting excellent training to the newly inducted constables.

“Welcoming them in the force, Asthana exhorted them to remain updated on latest crime trends and make optimal use of technology in conducting investigation, gathering evidence and for prosecution procedures,” the statement said.

Underlining the importance of community policing, the CP said, “Ninety-nine per cent people of the society strives to live in peace and only a few want to disturb the tranquility. Take those 99 per cent in confidence and maintain harmony with their cooperation.”

The image of police should instill a sense of confidence in public, but at the same time, criminals must fear it. He pressed them to strengthen the constitution and law of the land by performing their duty with bravery and balanced nature, with a neutral overview, the statement stated.

Woman constable Ankush Devi and constable Piyush Kumar were selected as ‘All-Round Best Cadet’, it added.
