He said that since the last 30 years there were a lot of ups and downs in the security situation but the police personnel along with other security agencies have taken up these challenges bravely and dealt with them firmly.

The DGP said that under the able leadership at different levels from the forces, each one contributed in one way or the other in maintaining normalcy and defeated the ill designs of the anti-national elements. Without caring for their own comfort and celebration of festivals with their families, the Police personnel have remained on the forefront of maintaining peace and public order.
