War on Drugs Those involved in it, Public Support important: DGP RR Swain

Director General of Jammu and Kashmir police RR Swain on Monday said that the war on drugs is not against the public but those who are involved in this trade and those who try to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere.

Speaking with reporters on the sidelines of public durbar in Kupwara, the police chief said that public cooperation is important to win this war against drugs and against the masterminds who are involved in this trade.

The DGP also said that police Special Police Officers (SPOs) are part of police family and they understand their issues as well. “We always try to provide help to SPOs, their families and children through different welfare schemes of the police and also try to induct them under regular police, which we also done on various occasions,” he said. Talking about the public durbar, he said that this is the first time they have moved out of station headquarters to hold the grievance redressal programme at district level. “The aim is to provide relief to the public and help resolve their grievances through such programmes as people face a lot of issues,” he said
