Lucknow – Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna inaugurated the newly constructed Navin Adarsh Thana Dakshin in Firozabad district via video conferencing. The new facility is aimed at modernizing policing and enhancing citizen-centric services.
Addressing senior officers and personnel, the DGP said, “A police station is the first centre of trust between citizens and the police, and a better working environment directly improves the quality of public service delivery.” He emphasized that the transformation in police infrastructure over recent years reflects a significant shift from the facilities available 25–30 years ago and stressed the need for scientific planning ahead of the induction of 50,000–60,000 new constables.
