Police Jawans should be active in social service

Bhopal: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that it is due to the alertness of Madhya Police that the whole state is an island of peace today. Women can move around freely. Police have played a major role in tightening its noose round the criminals. Police jawan are making significant contribution in maintaining law and order and peace in the state. It is the duty of the state government to make housing and other facilities available to the families of the jawans. Nearly 25,000 houses have been approved for the police jawans and these 15-storeyed buildings will be ready within two years. These buildings are being constructed with modern techniques with all facilities.

The Chief Minister was speaking at the bhoomi-pujan programme at 15th Battalion in Mahesh Guard Line Indore of Police Housing Board Corporation. Forest Minister Gaurishankar Shejwar, Mayor Smt. Malini Lakshmansingh Goud, Madhya Pradesh Housing Board Chairman Krishna Murari Moghe, MLA Sudarshan Gupta, Smt. Usha Thakur and Rajesh Sonkar were also present. The Chief Minister said that this Bhavan is not only for the Police Jawans, it is for those family members who encourage and energise their fathers-sons, brothers-sisters to serve the society through their police jobs’. Madhya Pradesh Police has done commendable jobs. Most prominent among these is paving a new path of development in dense forests of Chambal by freeing it of dacoits. Now a roadmap of development is being prepared in Chambal. Madhya Pradesh did not allow Naxalism to spread its tentacles in the state by checking their entry at the borders of the state itself. They busted terrorist organisations like SIMI. Chief Minister Chouhan said that if needed, government will make efforts to make resources and funds available for higher education of their children. A Police jawan is active round the clock in social service and so he is unable to give time to his family and children. A policeman’s job is the biggest example of social service. Director General of Police Rishi Shukla thanked the Chief Minister to approve 25,000 houses for policemen’s families and informed that more than 12,000 police jawans are being recruited every year. Maintaining law and order in the society is a huge responsibility and police jawans are fulfilling it dutifully, he added.

Director General of Police Housing Board Sarabjit Singh said that for the first time in the state, a 15-storeyed building is being constructed in Indore. In this project 944 houses will be made available to police. This project is entirely eco-friendly in which power will be supplied through solar energy. This will be completed in two years and will help to solve the housing problem of police jawans.
