Appreciating the measures taken to ensure a good law and order situation in Dharwad district, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Friday, called on police officials to continue the good work and make the region free from the menace of drug abuse by effectively tackling the issue.
Chairing a review meeting of Dharwad Rural Police at the Superintendent of Police’s Office in Dharwad on Friday, he gave a direction to the officials to make Dharwad district free from drug abuse in the next six months.
Emphasising the need to adapt best practices and ensure people-friendly policing, the Home Minister asked police officials to visit one school and a college every month and hold discussions with the students to sensitise them on the issue of drug abuse. A healthy and crime-free society can be developed only when the police win the trust of the people, he said.
