Governor KT Parnaik has advised the state police leadership to take firm, decisive, and time-bound action against illegal immigration, stressing that the issue has serious implications for social harmony and internal security.
The governor held a meeting with Director General of Police Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal at Lok Bhavan in Itanagar. During the interaction, he underlined the need for sustained and focused efforts to deal with challenges affecting law and order in the state.
Parnaik also expressed concern over the growing problem of drug abuse and asked the police to intensify measures to curb the menace, particularly to protect the youth from falling into substance addiction. He emphasised that preventing drug trafficking and abuse must remain a priority for the force.
Referring to the sensitive districts of Tirap, Changlang, and Longding, the governor called for visible and effective policing to build confidence among the local population. He stressed the importance of strong intelligence gathering and close coordination with local communities to ensure peace and stability in these areas.
Highlighting the role of the police as the first point of contact for citizens, the governor urged strict discipline, proactive leadership, and the highest standards of professionalism within the force. He called for people-friendly policing that is responsive, compassionate, and fair, while also asking senior officers to give due importance to the welfare, morale, and working conditions of police personnel.
Parnaik further advised the DGP to ensure proper and judicious use of manpower and resources to maintain law and order efficiently. He also encouraged the use of modern technology, including digital surveillance, data-based policing, and smart crime analysis tools, to improve efficiency and move towards a crime-free Arunachal Pradesh.
