Uniform Means Responsibility, Not Power: DGP

Highlighting the changing dynamics of modern crime, he urged the officers to remain technologically proficient, mentally balanced, and morally resilient. He described cybercrime and drug abuse as critical threats to the younger generation, calling for proactive measures. Furthermore, the DGP briefly shared information about special training initiatives currently underway for the upcoming Simhastha 2028.
