“Dimapur, the financial capital of the state, borders Assam. And all kinds of people live here, which gives rise to illegal activities like extortion, illegal taxes and crimes,” the Chief Minister said during an official function.
The Chief Minister said that the government is concerned about the safety of all citizens, particularly the business community.
He said that due to the prevailing situation in Dimapur, policing is a challenge in and around this important city. "The police should be more active and control crimes in these areas," the Chief Minister said.
He said if the security situation improves in Dimapur, all other areas of the state will be a safer place.
"Police should be updated with the latest technology and should also adopt blue policy against any social element in urban areas," the Chief Minister said.
Earlier, trade and business bodies organized a series of agitations in Dimapur to protest against forced extortions, illegal taxes and rising crimes.
The Chief Minister asserted that the police have actively discharged their duties effectively to bring laurel to the state by controlling crimes, criminals and smuggling across the state.
In order to strengthen surveillance in the state, Chief Minister Rio and Deputy Chief Minister Y. Patton, who holds the Interior portfolio, allocated 35 Boleros vehicles, 100 bicycles and two mobile forensic investigation vans (MFVs) for the police of Nagaland at the Chumoukedima police complex.
The Chief Minister hoped that with the new vehicles the police would be able to track criminals and chase them during anti-crime operations.
He assured the police that the government will always support and encourage the forces and the administration will continue their work diligently as they are the backbone of the government.
The Chief Minister also urged the public to support and cooperate with the police and the administration in the effective discharge of their duties.
“These vehicles symbolize our dedication to responding quickly and effectively to people's needs. They are an essential resource that will enhance our operational capabilities, particularly in areas where mobility is crucial for timely intervention,” Deputy Chief Minister Patton said in his speech.
He said that in urban areas like Dimapur with population density and urban sprawl present unique challenges, having a well-equipped police force is not just a necessity but an urgency.
He also urged citizens to continue their partnership with the police as their vigilance, cooperation and timely reporting of suspicious activities play a crucial role in crime prevention and peacekeeping.
Director General of Police Rupin Sharma said that some of the vehicles are connected with GPS and the idea of this connection is to make it more effective, safe and secure for the state.
