Corruption like cancer, will take away growth: Hubballi-Dharwad Police Commissioner

“If what is bad or not good, is not portrayed accordingly there are chances that it will become a new normal and will lead to dangerous consequences,” Hubballi-Dharwad Police Commissioner Renuka Sukumar said here on Saturday.

She was inaugurating the ‘Vigilance Awareness Programme’ organised by The Hindu in association with Bharat Petroleum Company Limited (BPCL) on the theme “Say No To Corruption: Commit To The Nation” at JG College of Commerce in Hubballi on Saturday.

Referring to the quote that a lie told thousand times becomes the truth, the Police Commissioner elaborated why it was important to sensitise students against a social malady like corruption. “If what is bad is allowed to continue, then it will become a normal thing,” she said. She said corruption was like cancer and if untreated it would take away the growth of the nation.
